Verse 1 
Am                            F                C    A#   C 
There's a fire burning bright at our house tonight 
            Am                      G 
Slow music playing and soft candle light 
                    F                    Am 
On her lips I keep tasting the warm red wine 
                 C   G7sus     G7          C 
I'm there in her arms but it's all in her mind 
 
Chorus 
     G                F                  C    A#    C 
The snow is piled high on the highway tonight 
                    Am                    G 
I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white 
                    F                       Am 
Eighteen wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover 
                 C                 Gsus         G         C      Am 
I wish I could hold her instead of hugging this old cold shoulder 
 
Interlude 
C  F  C  A#  C  Am 
 
Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1) 
this old highway is like a woman sometimes 
She can be your best friend but she's the real jealous kind 
She's the lady that leads me to the life I dream of 
She's the mistress that keep's me from the ones that I love 
 
Chorus 
 
F                    C                 G7sus                       Am F C 
God I wish I could hold her instead of huggin this old cold shoulder
