Intro: E-A-B E-A-B E 

E 
Well the glow from the bars and a thousand stars 

A                       B  
Light the cold Ohio night 

E                               A 
And the Turnpike's slick, the 

                          B 
snow's as thick as thieves 

E                            A  
Since your call came through there 

ain't nothing new 

E                     A         
But the radio and the headlights 

E                              A 
And the news at the top of the hour 

B 
That no one really believes, 


do they 



(Chorus:) 

C#m     A  
Lover...what you want to go and do 

B 
that for 

C#m     A  
Lover...why'd you want to tear it 

B 
apart 

C#m     A 
Lover...you say you got your 

  
reasons, but I need more 

B - C#m A 
Lover...give me back my heart 

B                E 
Give it back, girl 


E                            A  
When the cold comes to stay it 

                  B   
takes your breath away 

E                      A    
And it makes the hours crawl 

E                        A      
And it feels to me like I've been 

B 
driving forever 

E                       A     
Then your words return, the whole place burns 

E 
And I just don't know where to 
B 
begin 

E                               
Girl could you just make it 

A  
anybody else 

E                B         
Anybody else but him, could you 



(Chorus) (SAME PROGRESSION AS BEFORE). 


WAIL ON THE E FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN TO THE B 

BRIDGE: 

B 
And somewhere ahead tonight 

A 
With fine wine and candlelight 

E                          B    
He's gonna turn your head around 

B                        C#m  
Girl what you want me to do 

E                               
If I leave this thing all up to you 

A  
I'm gonna lose the best thing I've 

E  
found 

A                B    
I can see what's going down 


E                       A    
So I talk to the night, I head for 

    B  
the light 

E                      B 
Try and hold it on the road 

E                 A 
Thank God for the man who put 

B 
the white lines 

E 
On the highway 

E 
Baby what you gonna do when the 

A 
fire is through 

E                     A    
And you find he's out looking for 

          B 
somebody new 

E                             A 
Cause you did everything that he 

               B  
wanted you to do 

A                   B  
And now you're all alone and 

         
crying, aren't you... 



(Chorus) 



A PRETTY SIMPLE SONG.  
THANKS.
