     G              C       G 
If today was not an endless highway 
                     C       G 
If tonight was not a crooked trail 
       C    D             G 
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time 
     C                   D                 G 
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
[Estribillo]
         C          D                 G 
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting 
         C                   D              G 
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding 
C       D             G 
Only if she was lying by me 
         C         D         G 
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.

  G                       C      G 
I can't see my reflection in the water 
                              C       G 
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain 
        C        D          G 
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps 
   C                  D               G 
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
[Estribillo]
         C          D                 G 
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting 
         C                   D              G 
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding 
C       D             G 
Only if she was lying by me 
         C         D         G 
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
[Estrofa]
        G                     C       G 
There's beauty in the silver, singing river 
                              C       G 
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky 
    C                 D                          G 
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty 
         C            D           G 
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
[Estribillo]
         C          D                 G 
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting 
         C                   D              G 
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding 
C       D             G 
Only if she was lying by me 
         C         D         G 
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
