G                   C       G
If today was not an endless highway
G                    C       G
If tonight was not a crooked trail
   C        D             G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
     C              D               G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all


         C          D                 G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         C                   D              G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
C       D             G
Only if she was lyin' by me
         C         D         G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.


   C        D             G
I can't see my reflection in the water
     C              D               G
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
   C        D             G
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
     C              D               G
Or can't remember the sound of my own name


         C          D                 G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         C                   D              G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
C       D             G
Only if she was lyin' by me
         C         D         G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.


   C        D             G
There's beauty in the silver, singing river
     C              D               G
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
   C        D                       G
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
     C              D               G
That I remember in my true love's eyes.


         C          D                 G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
         C                   D              G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
C       D             G
Only if she was lyin' by me
         C         D         G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
