WITH A NICE BALLAD LIKE BEAT
Intro: E-A-B E-A-B E
E
Well the glow from the bars and a thousand stars
A B
Light the cold Ohio night
E A
And the Turnpike's slick, the
B
snow's as thick as thieves
E A
Since your call came through there
ain't nothing new
E A
But the radio and the headlights
E A
And the news at the top of the hour
B
That no one really believes,
do they
(Chorus:)
C#m A
Lover...what you want to go and do
B
that for
C#m A
Lover...why'd you want to tear it
B
apart
C#m A
Lover...you say you got your
reasons, but I need more
B - C#m A
Lover...give me back my heart
B E
Give it back, girl
E A
When the cold comes to stay it
B
takes your breath away
E A
And it makes the hours crawl
E A
And it feels to me like I've been
B
driving forever
E A
Then your words return, the whole place burns
E
And I just don't know where to
B
begin
E
Girl could you just make it
A
anybody else
E B
Anybody else but him, could you
(Chorus) (SAME PROGRESSION AS BEFORE).
WAIL ON THE E FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN TO THE B
BRIDGE:
B
And somewhere ahead tonight
A
With fine wine and candlelight
E B
He's gonna turn your head around
B C#m
Girl what you want me to do
E
If I leave this thing all up to you
A
I'm gonna lose the best thing I've
E
found
A B
I can see what's going down
E A
So I talk to the night, I head for
B
the light
E B
Try and hold it on the road
E A
Thank God for the man who put
B
the white lines
E
On the highway
E
Baby what you gonna do when the
A
fire is through
E A
And you find he's out looking for
B
somebody new
E A
Cause you did everything that he
B
wanted you to do
A B
And now you're all alone and
crying, aren't you...
(Chorus)
A PRETTY SIMPLE SONG.
THANKS.
