[fade in drums] [Main riff - 4x, verse 1

A G We’re bobbing on the surface D A And the shadow glides below

They say she feels my heartbeat G D A Oh, but how, I’ll never know

[repeat verse]

G D A That it’s the ocean flowing in our veins G D A Oh, that it’s the salt that’s in our tears G D A Oh, ‘cause we could have come so very far G D E Oh, in at least as many years D C A [fill riff 1, 2x] Take the highway through the great divide D C E Take the highway through the great divide

A G I’m building you a pyramid D A With limestone blocks so large

I drag them from the mountaintop G D You’ll need a, a two-car garage

[repeat verse]

G D A [fill riff 2] And it’s the ocean flowing in our veins G D A [fill riff 2] Oh, ‘cause it’s the salt that’s in our tears G D A [fill riff 2] Oh, ‘cause we could have come so very far G D E Oh, in at least as many years D C A [fill riff 2, 2x] Take the highway through the great divide D C E [begin solo on E chord] Take the highway through the great divide
