Capo 4

  G                             C
I drove all night to be here, I only stopped for gas
        G        G/F#    Em           C               D
Saw the sun come up this morning as I came across the pass
    G                                C 
I’m tired and wired and uninspired and broke in many ways
   G    G/F#    Em      C           D
I’m hoping you won’t mind if I stay a couple days

I called about a week ago to let you know the score
But I didn’t leave a message ‘cause I wasn’t really sure
You’d even want to see me after all I put you through
But I really couldn’t help myself feelin’ how I do
 

Chorus:
   C
My nights are long and lonely roads
   G        G/F#     Em
My days are just the same
    C            G                               D 
And every single song I write is crying out your name
G                                            C
If I’ve slept a wink at all I can’t remember when
       C 	          G          Em      C       D       G
‘Cause fallin’ out of love ain’t half as good as fallin’ in
 
I’ll sleep out on the sofa
I won’t take up much room
Leave my stuff out in the car
‘Cause I’ll be goin’ soon
Somewhere down the line I’ll write you letters now and then
I know that you won’t read a word but I can still pretend
 
Chorus
