[ Make It Last von Eric Andersen ]



Guitar: Capo 3

 Intro: G C G C F G C

 C             G     C
 It's 2 am and pitch black
          F             C
 And I've got so far to go
                      F        C
 My hands are hangin' from the wheel
        G            F    G
 But my mind it only roams
     C               G        C
 The sun went down behind the hills
         F                  D7
 And the miles are draggin' past
      C             D7
 This highway rolls forever
         F      G       C
 But I'm comin' home at last


 Refrain:
 C            G
 Make it last
           F                
 I want to feel the mornin' come
         C    G
 Make it last
           F               G
 I want to see the mornin' sun
   C
 I want to fly
         F
 Like an angel in the wind
         C    G
 Make it last
          F       G    C
 'Til I'm in your arms again


 C             G     C
 By the highway is a diamond
       F          C
 Glowin' in the night
               F        C
 All along the dark horizon
         G            F    G
 First sign and crack of light
      C      G        C
 Up the road I see a hotel
          F             D7
 Better pull in off the line
       C             D7
 Tomorrow seems forever
          F      G       C
 But I'll make it home on time


 **Refrain


 Am                C
 Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon
     F                 Dm7
 The clouds watch from above
 C                   G
 The things we do to keep this life
 C                    F
 The things we do for love
 Am                      C
 The chain they call the highway
     F               Dm7
 Can nail you like a stone
        C              G
 What I wouldn't do to have one hour
    F       G   C         
 To be with you alone


 **Refrain


 C             G     C
 Up ahead I see a woman
           F             C
 I can see her silhouette
                    F        C
 It's 4 am, the lights are out
         G        F    G
 I can see the empty bed
      C         G        C
 She's starin' out the window
          F          D7
 She puts out a cigarette
       C             D7
 The night rolls on forever
          F      G       C
 Like the prairies in the West


 **Refrain
