[Intro] 
C-G-Am-Em-F-C-G   x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
 C        G             Am                 Em
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
F                C            G
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
C          G           Am                 Em
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
      F                  C
Can't help but wish that I was there
      G
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C    G       Am          G
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    F                      C
to hold her when I'm not around,
          G
when I'm much too far away
C        G         Am           G
We all need that person who can be true to you
       F               C
But I left her when I found her
    G
And now I wish I'd stayed
            F             G
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    Em            Am  G  F
I'm missing you again oh no
           C
Once again
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                G          Am              Em
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
        F                         C
There's no one here while the city sleeps
      G
and all the shops are closed
C              G            Am                  Em
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
F                 C              G
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C    G        Am           G
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
     F                        C
to hold her when I'm not around,
          G
when I'm much too far away
C      G         Am             G
We all need that person who can be true to you
   F               C
I left her when I found her
    G
And now I wish I'd stayed
           F              G
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    Em          Am    G  F
I'm missing you again oh no
         C
Once again
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am     G     F               C
Some search, never finding a way
Am      G  F             C
Before long, they waste away
Am      G  F                       C
I found you, something told me to stay
Am   G F               C
I gave in, to selfish ways
Dm                         G
And how I miss someone to hold
 
when hope begins to fade...
 
C         G             Am                 Em
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
F               C            G
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C     G      Am            G
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    F                C
to hold her when I'm not around,
         G
when I'm much too far away
C      G        Am             G
We all need the person who can be true to you
    F             C
I left her when I found her
    G
And now I wish I'd stayed
           F              G
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
     Em          Am   G  F
I'm missing you again oh no
            C
Once again
