[Intro]
F C Dm Am Bb F C   x2

[Verse 1]
 F        C             Dm                 Am 
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb                F            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                           
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

[Chorus]
F    C       Dm          C             
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    Bb                      F   
to hold her when I'm not around,
          C               
when I'm much too far away
F        C         Dm           C             
We all need that person who can be true to you
       Bb               F      
But I left her when I found her
    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
          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                     
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                             
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

[Chorus]
F    C        Dm           C           
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
     Bb                        F
to hold her when I'm not around,
          C               
when I'm much too far away
F      C         Dm             C             
We all need that person who can be true to you
   Bb               F      
I left her when I found her
    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
          F
Once again

[Bridge]
Dm     A7     Bb               F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm      A7  Bb             F
Before long, they waste away
Dm      A7  Bb                      F 
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm    A7  Bb              F
I gave in, to selfish ways
Gm                         C  
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...
F         C             Dm                 Am 
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb               F            C                  
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

[Chorus]
F     C      Dm            C           
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    Bb                F         
to hold her when I'm not around,
         C                
when I'm much too far away
F      C        Dm             C             
We all need the person who can be true to you
    Bb             F       
I left her when I found her
    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
          F
Once again
