Elton John - Cold Highway: chords

Am                                Dm    C
Your life stepped lightly out our hands
     A#                C             F  Em E/G# Am
When no one's looking out you understand
                                             Dm  C
Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn
     A#                      F/A         Gm7  C
The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned

Chorus:
              A#7                         Dm7
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
          A#7                          Dm7
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
         Gm7                               Dm
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
         F                           A#             F/A Gm7
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end

Every new version of the way of life
Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night
But whose kid are you when they finally decide
The lifestyle you led and the way that you died

Chorus:
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end

But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell
The difference for you between heaven and hell
To glorify something, your legends are found
But all they bought you was a hole in the ground

Years rolling by just like a dream (ooh)
I'm partly human and I'm partly machine
They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone (ahh)
Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone (ahh)

Chorus:
And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down
Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground
Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend
In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
