There's a highway running out of town
Forty miles it's a straight shot
No way to get turned around
From here to there, you can't get lost
No surprises, no wrong way
Why can't love be that way
How can love go stɾaight to [C7]your heart
And be [Am]such a crooked ɾoad
How can we keep from drifting apart
When love's such a crooked ɾoad
Used to [C7]be [Am]that we were so sure
We knew where we were going
Why can't we see it like [F]we did before
Believing, when there was [Am7]no way of knowing
Some surprises, no wrong [Am]way
Why can't love be [Am]that way
How can love go stɾaight to [C7]your heart
And be [Am]such a crooked ɾoad
How can we keep from drifting apart
When love's such a crooked ɾoad
So, tell me what I'm missing
If love is ɾeally the shortest distance
So, tell me what I'm missing
If love is ɾeally the shortest distance
Yeah, tell me what I'm missing
If love is ɾeally the shortest distance
How can love go stɾaight to [C7]your heart
And be [Am]such a crooked ɾoad
How can we keep from drifting apart
When love's such a crooked ɾoad
How can love go stɾaight to [C7]your heart (stɾaight to [C7]your heart)
And be [Am]such a crooked ɾoad (such a crooked ɾoad)
How can we keep from drifting apart (drifting apart)
When love's such a crooked ɾoad (such a crooked ɾoad)
(Stɾaight to [C7]your heart) crooked ɾoad
(Such a crooked ɾoad)
(Drifting apart) crooked ɾoad
Stɾaight to [C7]your heart (crooked ɾoad)
(Crooked ɾoad)
(Crooked ɾoad)
(Crooked ɾoad)
