[Intro]
F C Dm Am Bb F C C  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
F              C              Dm                 Am
  On a lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb                F             C                C
Miles away from those I love    purpose hard to find
F            C            Dm                 Am
  While I recall all the words you spoke to me,
      Bb                  F
can't help but wish that I was there
     C                  C
back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
F5      C          Dm           C5
   Dear God   the only thing I ask of you is
   Bb                F
to hold her when I'm not around,
         C              C
when I'm much too far away
F5        C          Dm               C5
   We all need that person who can be true to you
      Bb             F5
But I left her when I found her
    C                 C
And now I wish I'd stayed
            Bb             C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    A7           Dm   C  Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
Bbadd9        F
       Once again
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                 C              Dm             Am
  There's nothing here   for me on this barren road
        Bb                    F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
    C                   C
and all the shops are closed
F                C             Dm                  Am
  Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Bb                 F            C                  C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
F5      C          Dm           C5
   Dear God   the only thing I ask of you is
   Bb                F
to hold her when I'm not around,
         C              C
when I'm much too far away
F5        C          Dm               C5
   We all need that person who can be true to you
      Bb             F5
But I left her when I found her
    C                 C
And now I wish I'd stayed
            Bb             C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    A7           Dm   C  Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
Bbadd9        Fadd9   Fadd9
       Once again
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Dm            Dm/C#    Bb                  F   C/E
   Well, some search,     never finding a way
Dm        Dm/C#    Bb             F    C/E
   Before long,       they waste away (Yeah)
Dm         Dm/C#   Bb                        F   C/E
   I found you,       something told me to stay
Dm        Dm/C#    Bb            F     C/E
   I gave in,         to selfish ways (Yeah)
Gm7                           C
   And how I miss someone to hold
     C
when hope begins to fade...
