[Verse 1]
D
If today was not an endless highway
D
If tonight was not a crooked trail
G D
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
G A D
then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
[Chorus]
D G A D
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
G A D
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
G D
only if she were lying by me
G A D
would I rest in my bed once again
[Verse 2]
D
I can't see my reflection in the mirror
D
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
G D
I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps
G A D
and can't remember the sound of my own name
[Chorus]
D G A D
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
G A D
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
G D
only if she were lying by me
G A D
would I rest in my bed once again
[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
D
There's beauty in the silver singin' river
D
There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky
G
But none of these, and nothing else
D
can steal the beauty
G A D
that I remember in my true love's eyes
[Chorus]
D G A D
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
G A D
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
G D
only if she were lying by me
G A D
would I rest in my bed once again
D G A D
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
G A D
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
G D
only if she were lying by me
G A D
would I rest in my bed once again
