|D              |A               |G                |                |D            |
 travelling on a lonely road      Going someplace    I dunno     The way ahead was

|A                |Em            |G                |D               |A            |
 bleak and getting dark                      Was it something in the sky above  Or

|G               |                   |D             |A          |Em      |G       |
 something in the broken scrub   That made me sudden-ly think of you         2.The

|Bm            |G                     |D          |A            |F#m              |
 memory of your face so sweet and that awful day I had to leave   I can't help the

|G                 |D             |A             |Bm              |G              |
 tears that fill my eyes                     This weight inside my heart Tells how

|D                 |A             |F#m              |G            |A              |
 we've been split a-part       And God knows it gets heavier every day

|           |C           |G          |A            |NC               |D           |
      Every day                                                There's only one way

|A               |Em        |G         |D             |A                          |
 home for me from here          And I'm looking at you straight down through these

|Em       |G        |D             |A                |Bm                          |
 years         I can see your happy smiling face  And something tells me that it's

|G                        |D            |A                |G          |D          |
 not too late  And I'll be holding       holding you in my arms

|Bm                |G                     |D                   |A                 |
3.I never wanted to give you up but what's done is done let the past be gone

|F#m                |G                |D               |A         |Bm             |

 left you behind but each day I carried you in my mind     And all the time that I

 drifted around I was just getting nearer to you      I was just getting nearer to

|G             |A             |NC                  |D            |A               |

 arms                 I'll be holdin you and nothing will keep us a-part

            I can see your happy smiling face         And something tells me every-

|G                            |D                |A                |G              |
 thing's in place  And I'll be holding           holding you in my arms

                              4.All the years I waited trying to get in touch with

|A          |F#m               |G                 |D                |A            |
 you         Wondering if you'd still remember     Wondering if you knew       But

|Bm              |G                |D               |A          |F#m              |
 always one thing certain   I never gave up hope for us          That one day we'd
