capo 2

Intro
G  Em  C  G x2

VIG       Em          C             G
I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do
G      Em            C          G
I?ve got one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you
G          Em          Am      C      G
Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain?t heard a word from you since
G            Em          C        G
So I?ll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind
G          Em       C       G
All I?ve got is the radio and this empty distant sky
G               Em
And Willie?s singing somewhere over the rainbow
  C    Am        C    Em
But you, no you won?t see the tears in my eyes

Chorus:
 C         G     D
Before the night is gone
     Em   C          G    D
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
Em              G              C        G
And knock that chip off your shoulder, Into your heart of stone to start a spark
   Em   C         G
Cause I need someway..... to see.... in the dark

V2
G         Em       C          G
Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true
G        Em           C         G
The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few
G          Em        C        G
We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home
G         Em      C           G
But we?ve got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones
G          Em         C             G
When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds
G        Em            Am      C   G  Em
Like the rivers from that point you?d go your way and I?d  go  mine


Chorus:
 C         G     D
Before the night is gone
     Em     C        G    D Am
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
Em              G     D        C        G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
   Em     C         G
Cause I need someway.... to see.... in the dark

Instrumental  G Em C G x4

V3
G           Em         C       G
The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs
G         Em             C       G
The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize
G        Em         C       G
About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again
G          Em            C         G
They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand
G      Em          C       G
But babe you never will and that?s why I love you still
G          Em         C       G     Em
No matter how far we drift apart You?ll always have a piece of  my heart

Chorus:
 C         G     D
Before the night is gone
     Em     C        G    D Am
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
Em              G     D        C        G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
   Em     C         G
Cause I need someway.... to see.... in the dark
