One for the Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Tree blows against my win[A]dow
There's [Bm]a storm brewin'
in my [G]heart
Watchin' [D]credits roll on a late
[A]night TV [D]show
Lonely street light peek[A]in'
Through the [Bm]cracks in the window [G]shade
After [D]all that he's seen,
I won[A]der if he truly knows
[D]

[Verse 2]
Did he watch her when
she slammed [A]the door
Like a [Bm]hammer against [G]a nail
[D]Leavin' me in what's [A]become
A [G]lonely [A]prison cell?
[D]

[Verse 3]
I thought [G]always [D]meant
[A]forever
Guess you [D]couldn't play second
[G]fiddle to my gui[A]tar
Like an [Bm]old man drinkin'
down at the tav[Em]ern
I was [G]one for the road; now you're
[A]headed on back [D]home

[Verse 4]
[D]
I met you at [A]a party,
seems like [Bm]only [G]yesterday
We were [D]fallin' in love and [A]livin'
to chase our dream[D]s
I gave you flowers on [A]Valentine's
And I [Bm]had a strong feelin'
deep and [G]down inside
That [D]someday we'd make
[A]a home and a family
[D]

[Verse 5]
I'd say I'm sorry in a heart[A]beat
If [Bm]you would only let [G]me
I could [D]learn to forgive
[A]if you would only forget
[D]A hotel room down in Austin[A]
[Bm]Af ter another one night show
[G]I cau[D]ght your silhouette
[A]creepin' down the street
Un[G]der a moon[A]light glow
[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]And as you took my [A]hand
So [Bm]went all my [G]pain
We [D]stepped right off the plat[A]form
and [G]caught the mid[A]night train
[D]

[Verse 7]
And I thought [G]al [D]ways meant [A]forever
And I [D]won't make you play
second [G]fiddle to my gui[A]tar
Like an [Bm]old man drinkin'
down at the tav[Em]ern
I was [G]one [A]for the [D]roa[G]d,
[A]and [D]you[G] hea[A]ded on back hom[D]e

[Outro 1]
