Intro
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G x2
VIG E minorEm C majorC G+G
I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
I?ve got one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you
G+G E minorEm A minorAm C majorC G+G
Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain?t heard a word from you since
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
So I?ll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
All I?ve got is the radio and this empty distant sky
G+G E minorEm
And Willie?s singing somewhere over the rainbow
C majorC A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
But you, no you won?t see the tears in my eyes
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Before the night is gone
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G
And knock that chip off your shoulder, Into your heart of stone to start a spark
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Cause I need someway..... to see.... in the dark
V2
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
But we?ve got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds
G+G E minorEm A minorAm C majorC G+G E minorEm
Like the rivers from that point you?d go your way and I?d go mine
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Before the night is gone
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Cause I need someway.... to see.... in the dark
Instrumental G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G x4
V3
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
But babe you never will and that?s why I love you still
G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G E minorEm
No matter how far we drift apart You?ll always have a piece of my heart
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Before the night is gone
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
Won?t you tell me our love will linger on?
E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Cause I need someway.... to see.... in the dark
