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

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