[VERSE]
D#m F#
I’ll call her Eliza, the girl with no name
C# G#m
All wrapped up in silence, in secrets, in pain
D#m F#
In north country winter, both tied to the road
C# G#m
She Smiled and said nothing, I bared her my soul.
D#m F#
And I knew that I loved her, but I couldn’t say why
C# G#m
And all of that silence might well have been lies
D#m F#
She cried out “I love you, but I’ll never be free.
C# G#m
There ‘aint no use guessing, just forget about me.”

[CHORUS]
F# C# G#m Cb
Oooh, Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
F# C#
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
D#m Cb
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
F# C# G#m Cb
And Oooh Oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
F# C#
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
D#m Cb
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
D#m F# C# G#m D#m F# C# G#m
[VERSE]
D#m F#
My footsteps were haunted for many long weeks
C# G#m
I couldn’t find shelter in those dull dusty streets
D#m F#
So I found me a railcar with no windows, no doors
C# G#m
Poured out all my love on the cold rusty floor
[VERSE]
D#m F#
And in the gray morning I was long gone, away
C# G#m
In a far eastern country where the language is strange
D#m F#
Where the seabirds they circle no ocean nearby
C# G#m
Like lost souls they’re crying, lamenting their plight
D#m C# G#m
[VERSE]
D#m F#
The sun rises and sets in the same goddamn place
C# G#m
Shadows circle my body and laugh in my face
D#m F#
Though I set out to find me a whole brand new life
C# G#m
I don’t want to forget her, I don’t want to die
D#m C# G#m D#m C# G#m
[CHORUS]
F# C# G#m Cb
Oooh Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
F# C#
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
D#m Cb
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
F# C# G#m Cb
And Oooh oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
F# C#
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
D#m Cb
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
