VERSE I :

G          D              Em                Bm
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
C9               G            D
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

G D Em Bm

While I recall all the words you spoke to me
C9                       G
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
C9                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
C9               G
But I left her when I found her
G
And now I wish I'd stayed
C9              D
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
B7           Em    D  C9
I'm missing you again, oh no...
G
Once again

VERSE II :

G D Em Bm

There's nothing here for me, on this barren road
C9                     G
There's no one here while the city sleeps
D
And all the shops are closed

G D Em Bm

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
C9                 G            D
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

CHORUS :

G D Em D

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
C9                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
C9               G
But I left her when I found her
G
And now I wish I'd stayed
C9              D
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
B7           Em    D  C9
I'm missing you again, oh no...
G
Once again

BRIDGE :

Em      D7    C                G  D9
Some search, never finding a way

Em D7 C G D9

Before long, they waste away

Em D7 C G D9

I found you, something told me to stay

Em D7 C G D9

I gave in, to selfish ways

Am7 D

And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade...

VERSE :

G          D               Em                Bm
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
C9               G            D
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find

CHORUS :

G D Em D

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
C9                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
C9               G
But I left her when I found her
G
And now I wish I'd stayed
C9              D
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
B7           Em    D  C9
I'm missing you again, oh no...
G
Once again

End.
