Dm  
  When your only friends are hotel rooms

Hands are distant lullabies  
           C  
If I could turn around I would tonight  
Dm  
  These roads never seemed so long  
Since your paperheart start  
C/E                F  
beating leaving me suddenly alone

  Will daybreak ever come?

  Who's gonna call on sunday morning?  
                      F  
Who's gonna drive you home?  
I just want one more chance

  To put my arms in fragile hands

Dm  
  August evenings  
Bring solemn warnings  
     C/E F  
To remem-ber to kiss the

ones you love goodnight  
Dm  
  You never know what   
temporal days may bring  
                   C/E      F  
So laugh love live free and sing

When life is in dischord  
Praise ye the lord
