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
