G Em Bm  G Em Bm  C D G Em  C D G   D
 
[Verse 1]
 
G           Em             Bm
This is for all the lonely people,
G             Em                   Bm  D
thinking that life has passed them by
C          D            G              Em
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup,
    C         D              G   D
and ride that highway in the sky
 
[Verse 2]
 
G           Em             Bm
This is for all the single people,
G             Em                 Bm   D
thinking that love has left them dry
C          D            G              Em
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup,
C         D              G   D
you never know until you try
 
[Chorus]
 
          C  G  Am
Well, I'm on my way
         C    G  Am
Yes, I'm back to stay

Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)

       C     D             G          Em
She’ll never take you down,  or never give you up,

you never know until you try
