[Verse 1]
G C/G G
If today was not an endless highway
C/G G
If tonight was not a crooked trail
C/G D G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
C/G D G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
[Chorus]
C/G D G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
C/G D G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding
C/G D G
Only if she was lying by me
C/G D G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
[Verse 2]
G C/G G
I can't see my reflection in the water
C/G G
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
C/G D G
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
C/G D G
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
[Chorus]
C/G D G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
C/G D G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding
C/G D G
Only if she was lying by me
C/G D G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
[Verse 3]
G C/G G
There's beauty in the silver, singing river
C/G G
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
C/G D G
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
C/G D G
That I remember in my true love's eyes.
[Chorus]
C/G D G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
C/G D G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding
C/G D G
Only if she was lying by me
C/G D G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
[Verse 4]
G C/G G
If today was not an endless highway
C/G G
If tonight was not a crooked trail
C/G D G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
C/G D G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
[Chorus]
C/G D G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
C/G D G
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a softly pounding
C/G D G
Only if she was lying by me
C/G D G
Then I'd lie in my bed once again.
