Intro: F-C-Dm-Am-B-F-C x2 F C Dm Am A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Bb F 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 Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah F C Dm C Dear God the only thing I ask of you is Bb F to hold her when I'm not around, C when I'm much too far away F C Dm C We all need that person who can be true to you Bb F But I left her when I found her C And now I wish I'd stayed Bb C ’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired Am Dm C Bb I'm missing you again oh no F Once again
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 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 Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah F C Dm C Dear God the only thing I ask of you is Bb F to hold her when I'm not around, C when I'm much too far away F C Dm C We all need that person who can be true to you Bb F I left her when I found her C And now I wish I'd stayed Bb C ’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired Am Dm C Bb I'm missing you again oh no F Once again Dm Am B F Some search, never finding a way Dm Am B F Before long, they waste away Dm Am B F I found you, something told me to stay Dm Am B F I gave in, to selfish ways Gm C And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade...
