Lyrics

It’s a (F)lone ly (C)road

full of (Am)tired men.

And you can (F)see it (G6)in their (C)fac es.

And you’ll be (F)home in (C)spring,

I can (Am)wait ’til (C)then.

I (F)heard you’re (G6)on the (F)big train.

And (F)all of this shall pass.

This (F)lone li ness won’t last for long.

I was n’t there to (F)take his (C)place.

I was ten (G)thous and (F)miles a (C)way.

So when you (F)hear my (C)voice,

when you (Am)say my (C)name,

may it (F)nev er (G6)be in (C)pain.

And I don’t (F)want to (C)go

but it’s (Am)time to (C)leave.

You’ll be (F)on my (G6)mind, in my des ti (C)ny.

And (F)I won’t fight in vain.

I (F)love you just the same.

Ooh.

I could n’t know what’s (F)in your mind.

But I saw the (G)pic tures, you’re (F)look ing fine.

And there was a time when I stood in line for love, for love, for love.

But I (F)let you go, oh, I let you go.

And he fell a part with this bro ken heart and this (G)blood, this blood, this blood.

Oh, it (F)drains from my skin and dust.
