[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.
