[Intro]
FCDmAmBbFC
         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
