C#m

verse1:

A C#m

In the blink of an eye

Stars'll fall from the sky

No one even notices

A C#m

If you think it'll help

I can walk out myself

And we won't have to go through this

Chorus:

D E

If I pretend to hold you tight

A D

And out on the highway late some night

That's all right

Verse 2:

A C#m

If that's all that it takes

Even if my heart breaks

Darlin' I can't wait

A C#m

I have nothin' but time

And this poor heart of mine

Probably could use some rest

A C#m

When the ghosts are all gone

You can leave your light on

Shinin' through the loneliness

Chorus:

D E

Just like a beacon in the night

A D

Brighter than any star in sight

But that's all right

Verse 3:

A C#m

For as long as it takes

For that mornin' to break

Darlin' I can't wait

Chorus:

D E

Out where the mountains meet the sky

A D

Feelin' so lonesome I could cry

But that's all right

Verse 4:

A C#m

'Cause all the signs say

You'll call me someday

Darlin' I can't wait
