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