[Intro]
F C Dm Am Bb F C C x2
[Verse 1]
F C Dm Am
On a lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb F C C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
F C Dm Am
While I recall all the words you spoke to me,
Bb F
can't help but wish that I was there
C C
back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
[Chorus 1]
F5 C Dm C5
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Bb F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C C
when I'm much too far away
F5 C Dm C5
We all need that person who can be true to you
Bb F5
But I left her when I found her
C C
And now I wish I'd stayed
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
A7 Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
Bbadd9 F
Once again
[Verse 2]
F C Dm Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Bb F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
C C
and all the shops are closed
F C Dm Am
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Bb F C C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
[Chorus 2]
F5 C Dm C5
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Bb F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C C
when I'm much too far away
F5 C Dm C5
We all need that person who can be true to you
Bb F5
But I left her when I found her
C C
And now I wish I'd stayed
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
A7 Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
Bbadd9 Fadd9 Fadd9
Once again
[Bridge]
Dm Dm/C# Bb F C/E
Well, some search, never finding a way
Dm Dm/C# Bb F C/E
Before long, they waste away (Yeah)
Dm Dm/C# Bb F C/E
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm Dm/C# Bb F C/E
I gave in, to selfish ways (Yeah)
Gm7 C
And how I miss someone to hold
C
when hope begins to fade...
[Verse 3]
F C Dm Am
On a lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb F C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
[Chorus 3]
F5 C Dm C5
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Bb F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C C
when I'm much too far away
F5 C Dm C5
We all need that person who can be true to you
Bb F5
But I left her when I found her
C C
And now I wish I'd stayed
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
A7 Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
Bb
Once again
[Outro 1]

the Am in the chorous is actually A major! x02220
+8

instead of
[tab]
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
Am Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no...
[/tab]
try that:
[tab]
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
A7 Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
[/tab]
use A7 in the bridge instead of Am as well.
+7

it is definately a Bb & an A minor, the'res no A major in the F major scale
+5
