[VERSE]
Em G
I’ll call her Eliza, the girl with no name
D Am
All wrapped up in silence, in secrets, in pain
Em G
In north country winter, both tied to the road
D Am
She Smiled and said nothing, I bared her my soul.
Em G
And I knew that I loved her, but I couldn’t say why
D Am
And all of that silence might well have been lies
Em G
She cried out “I love you, but I’ll never be free.
D Am
There ‘aint no use guessing, just forget about me.”
Em D Am Em D Am
[CHORUS]
G D Am C
Oooh, Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
G D
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
Em C
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
G D Am C
And Oooh Oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
G D
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
Em C
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
Em G D Am Em G D Am
[VERSE]
Em G
My footsteps were haunted for many long weeks
D Am
I couldn’t find shelter in those dull dusty streets
Em G
So I found me a railcar with no windows, no doors
D Am
Poured out all my love on the cold rusty floor
[VERSE]
Em G
And in the gray morning I was long gone, away
D Am
In a far eastern country where the language is strange
Em G
Where the seabirds they circle no ocean nearby
D Am
Like lost souls they’re crying, lamenting their plight
Em D Am
[VERSE]
Em G
The sun rises and sets in the same goddamn place
D Am
Shadows circle my body and laugh in my face
Em G
Though I set out to find me a whole brand new life
D Am
I don’t want to forget her, I don’t want to die
Em D Am Em D Am
[CHORUS]
G D Am C
Oooh Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
G D
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
Em C
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
G D Am C
And Oooh oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
G D
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
Em C
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
