Stops Along the Way

D - G6   D - G6


   D                        D7
As time goes by, a man begins
G                               D/F#
Lookin' back on where he's been,
Em                                  A
Spendin' nights remembering other days.
    D                         D7
And faded pictures come to mind
   G
Of friends and lovers left behind,
    D                  A                D
And all the stops he's made along the way.

When wine would pour and hearts would break,
And chances were the thing to take,
Love was just another game to play.
When I look back, I am surprised
At all the dangers I've survived,
At all the stops we've made along the way.

 Bm
Stops along the way
G                  A
Where the highways came together,
Bm
Games that I would play
G                  A
When I thought I'd live forever.
Em                              A
Loves we'd thought would never end
     D        D/C#     Bm
Till we found out that they
Em         A              D
Were just stops along the way.

Along the roads that brought us here,
The footprints all are bright and clear,
So let's enjoy this moment while we may.
Let's not deny the other loves;
What we are we are because
Of all the stops we've made along the way.

Stops along the way
Where the highways came together,
Games we used to play
When we thought we'd live forever.
Loves we thought would never end
Till we found out that they

Em         A              D - D/C# - Bm - Bm/A
Were only stops along the way.
Em    A              D - D/C# - Bm - Bm/A   Em
Only stops along the way.
 A                 D - G6   D - G6 - A - D
Stops along the way.
