verse 1
(the intro is played whilst the second guitar plays the verses)
 
G        D             Em                 Bm11
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
 
C               Gadd9
Miles away from those i love
 
D
Purpose hard to find
 
G         D            Em                 Bm11
While i recall all the words you spoke to me
 
      C                  Gadd9
Can't help but wish that I was there
 
     D
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
 
 
Chorus
 
G    D       Em           D
Dear God the only thing i ask of you
 
      C                 G
Is to hold her when I'm not around
 
         D
When I'm much too far away
 
G      D         Em                D
We all need that person who can be true to you
 
      C             G
But I left her when I found her
 
    D
And Now I wish I'd stayed
 
          C              D
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
 
    B7          Em     D  C
I'm missing you again, oh no
 
     G
Once again...
 
 
Verse 2
 
                D           Em             Bm11
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
 
        C                     Gadd9
There's no one here while the city sleeps
 
D
And all the shops are closed
 
G              D            Em                  Bm11
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
 
C                 Gadd9
Pictures and some memories
 
     D
Will have to help me through, oh yeah
 
 
PLAY CHORUS AGAIN
 
 
Middle
 
Em        B7
Well some search
 
C               G
Never finding a way
 
Em     B7
Before long
 
C          G
They waste away
 
Em      B7
I found you
 
C                    G
Something told me to stay
 
Em     B7
I gave in
 
C          G
To selfish ways
 
Am                        D
And how i miss someone to hold
 
 
When hope begins to fade

I know, everything is tuned down a step but some people may get confused if I say that a G chord shape is an F and a D chord shape is a C Here you go: G = F Em = Dm Bm11 = Am11 C = A# D = C B7 = A7 Gadd9 = Fadd9 Am = Gm Probably all wrong but you get my message
