Intro G C C4 G C C4

G
I've been down a highway
Am
A lonesome, two-lane highway
C                     (Riff1)
Driving hard all night
G
I've been thinking about you
Am
The truth is ringing so true
C                                  (Riff2)
The picture's clearer in the light

D                        C          (Riff2)
I've been running from a good thing
D                          C
It's been right here in my hands
             G     D       C
You know you can't build a better love
                 G C C4
Than what we had

G
You can climb a mountain
Am
Way up on a mountain
C                            (Riff1)
Till you hang along thin air
G
You can cross the river
Am
But the other side, it ain't no greener
C                          (Riff2)
Once you're standing there
D                             C          (Riff2)
See, I've been running from a good thing
D                          C
It's been right here in my hands
             G     D       C
You know you can't build a better love
         G     D       C
You just can't build a better love
                 G
Than what we had

Solo : G C Em C (G) D C
D                        C       G
Babe, I took so much for granted
D                    C       G
And I've had so many doubts
D                             C                G
But I'm gonna hold on to this good thing, baby
D
'Cause we've build the kind of love no one can tear down

             G     D       C
You know you can't build a better love
         G     D       C
You just can't build a better love
        G     D       C
No, you can't build a better love
             G   C C4
Than what we had
             G   C C4
Than what we had
         G   C C4
You just can't
         G   C C4
You just can't

Ain't no better love
