[Verse 1]

C/G     G
Driving rain
   C/G          G
40 miles out of Michigan
C/G       G
Spiderweb headlights
        D
Shut me down

  C/G            G
I knocked on the door
  C/G      G
I rang the bell
    C/G       G
The sign said vacancy
                 D
There was no-one around

[Chorus]

   Am                    C
18 wheels up against the wall
   G                 D
56 tons of grain alcohol
       Am                    C
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
               G
But my will is gone
           D
My will is gone
           G         C/G
My will is gone

G       C/G

[Verse 2]

C/G       G
Lightning flashing
C/G           G
Standing in a phone booth
  C/G        G
I called her number
           D
I got a machine

  C/G       G
I heard her voice                 
  C/G       G
I heard the tone
   C/G     G
I tried to speak
                D
Couldn't say anything

[Chorus]

   Am                    C
18 wheels up against the wall
   G                 D
56 tons of grain alcohol
       Am                    C
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
               G
But my will is gone
           D
My will is gone
           G         C/G
My will is gone

G       C/G

[Verse 3]

C/G      G
Blinding snow
C/G        G
Sioux City Iowa
   C/G       G
It dawned on me
                D
She was gone to stay

  C/G        G
I jammed the brakes
  C/G       G
I swung it around
        C/G    G
Now I'm headed back
                 D
But it's way too late

[Chorus]

   Am                    C
18 wheels up against the wall
   G                 D
56 tons of grain alcohol
       Am                    C
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
               G
But my will is gone
           D
My will is gone
           G         C/G
My will is gone

G       C/G

[Outro] 

Am   C    G     D
Am   C    G     D
