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

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