[Dm]I'm riding shotgun down the [G]aval[C/G]anche [G] [C/G] [Dm]
[Dm]Tumbling and falling down the [G]avala[C/G]nche [G] [C/G] [Dm]
So be [Bb]quiet [C]tonight the [F]stars [F/E]shine [G]bright
On this [Bb]mountain of [C]new fallen [G]sn[Gsus]ow[G]
But I will [Bb]raise up my [C]voice [F]into [F/E]the [G]void
[Bb]You have left me [Am]nowhere to [Dm]go[G] [C/G] [G]
[Dm]I love you so much and it's [G]so biz[C/G]zare
[G]A mystery that goes [C/G]on and [G]on and [Dm]on
[Dm]It is the best thing and the [G]very most [C/G]hard
And [G]we don't [C/G] [G]get [Dm]along
After [Bb]countless [C]appeals, we keep [F]spinning [F/E]our [G]wheels
On this [Bb]mountain of [C]new fallen s[G]no[Gsus]w[G]
So I [Bb]let go the [C]catch and we're [F]over [F/E]the [G]edge
[Bb]You have left me [Am]nowhere to [Dm]go
[Dm]I'm riding shotgun down the ava[G]lanch[C/G]e[G]
SOLO
[Dm]Sometimes you make me loose my [G]will to [C/G]live
And [G]just become a [C/G]beacon for your [Dm]soul
[Dm]The past is stronger than my [G]will to [C/G]forgive
For[G]give you or [C/G]myself, I don't [Dm]know
[Dm]I'm riding shotgun down the a[G]valan[C/G]che [Dm]
[Dm]Tumblin' and fallin' down the [G]avala[C/G]nche [G] [C/G] [Dm]
So be [Bb]quiet [C]tonight be [F]sure t[F/E]o step[G] lightly
On this [Bb]mountain of new fallen [G]sno[Gsus]w [G]
But I will [Bb]raise up my [C]voice [F]into [F/E]the v[G]oid
[Bb]You have left me [Am]nowhere to [Dm]go
I'm riding shotgun down the [G]aval[C/G]anche [G]
