VERSE 1
(Note: In some places, there's a quick open strum on the low strings transitioning
between B minorBm and G+G)
G+G D MajorD
There's an empty hall
B minorBm
and it echos back at you
G+G A augmentedA
it's like an empty freight line rollin' through the dead of night
D MajorD
no end in sight and nowhere to go
B minorBm
with no one to call your own,
G+G A augmentedA
there ain't no voice on the other end of the telephone
CHORUS
G+G A augmentedA
oh and I wish I could see that smile
D MajorD G+G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A augmentedA
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
PLAY INTRO
VERSE 2
G+G D MajorD
Well there's a flood of tears
B minorBm
they're just falling down like rain
G+G A augmentedA
they spill into your empty bourbon glass
D MajorD
pour it out fill it up again
B minorBm
until you feel no pain
G+G A augmentedA
wander to that bar and everybody's having fun
they don't understand
CHORUS
G+G A augmentedA
if I could see that smile
D MajorD G+G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A augmentedA
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
INTRO/SOLO
VERSE 3
G+G D MajorD
There's a mirrored wall
B minorBm
and it's starin' back at you
G+G A augmentedA
it's like an empty freight line movin' through the dead of night
D MajorD
no end in sight and nowhere to go
B minorBm
with no place to call your home,
G+G A augmentedA
there ain't no voice on the other end of the telephone
CHORUS
G+G A augmentedA
oh and I wish I could see that smile
D MajorD G+G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A augmentedA
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
[Play INTRO four more times, end on G+G]
