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