Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I might as well [Bm]be sitti[G]ng
in the middle of [C]nowhere
The [G]cars on the [Bm]highway
[Em]won't look [C]my [G]way
[C]They fly [Bm]by, paral[G]ysed am I in
the [C]headlight glare

[Verse 2]
[G]Blinding [D]light as the day[Em]light [C]dims
[G]Darkness [Bm]falling [Em]cold [C]and grim
[G]Hazard lights [Bm]flashing,
wav[Em]ing my [C]thumb [G]in the wind

[Verse 3]
And I [C]know what they're
[G]saying and thinking
I've said and [C]thought it too
It's [G]just a little [D]different when the [Em]per
son on the [C]side [G]of the road is you
It [C]could be a [G]trap, a desperate thief
Better [C]watch your back

[Verse 4]
It's [G]better now [D]if we just [Em]drive on [C]past
[G]Don't get in[D]volved, don't [Em]take no [C]risk
[G]Let some[Bm]body else [Em]stop
and take [C]care of [G]it

[Verse 5]
[C]All [G]night long
I [C]waited for [G]someone
To [C]lend me a [Bm]hand on the [D]side
of this dark high[G]way

[Verse 6]
[C]All [Bm]night [G]long
I [C]waited for [G]someone
To [C]lend me a [G]hand on the [D]side of this
dark high[G]way[Gm][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]Finding your[G]self in need of help
from [C]a stranger's hand
[G]Makes you real[D]ize,
opens [Em]up your ey[C]es to where yo[G]u stand
'Cause the [C]good [G]in a man is only
as good [C]as the bad is bad

[Verse 8]
And [G]nobody [Bm]wants to [Em]look [C]at me
[G]Everybody's [D]got some[Em]where [C]to be
[G]Nothing but [Bm]an old [Em]guitar for [C]company
[G]

[Verse 9]
[C]All [G]night long
I [C]waited for [G]someone
To [C]lend me a [G]hand on the [D]side
of this dark high[G]way

[Verse 10]
[C]All [Bm]night [G]long
I [C]waited for [G]someone
To [C]lend me a [G]hand on the [D]side of this dark high[G]way
[Am][Em]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][Em]
[D][Am][Em][D][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 11]
[C]So I sat [Bm]there [G]singing
my lonesome [C]tune
The [G]stars shone [Bm]down,
[Em]I stared bac[C]k at the moo[G]n
I [C]couldn't help [Bm]thinking how
[G]everything's turned out [C]wrong

[Verse 12]
How [G]everyone's [D]afraid
of the [Em]other [C]guy
[G]Nobody [Bm]looking you [Em]in the ey[C]e
[G]Everybody [D]lonesome [Em]nobody [C]asking [G]why

[Verse 13]
[C]All [G]night long
We're [C]waiting for [G]someone
To [C]lend us a [G]hand on the [D]side
of this dark high[G]way

[Verse 14]
[C]All [G]night long
I [C]waited for [G]someone
To [C]lend me a [G]hand on the [D]side

[Verse 15]
of this dark highway
[Em]To lend [C]me a hand [G]on the
[D]side of this dark high[G]way
To [C]lend me a [G]hand on the
[D]side of this dark highway
