(verse 1) 
        Em7            C              G  -  D 
Late at night on some dark deserted highway, 
      Em7      C               D 
On my way to another lonesome town, 
            Em7            C                G      D 
I thought I might see the first light of a new day, 
      Em7       Bm                  D  - Dadd11/C - Dadd11/B - Dadd11/A 
As it lay like fool?s gold on the ground, 
 
 
(chorus) 
        C                 D 
But whenever I?m feeling low, 
         G                   C 
I won?t have to cry alone I know, 
                D             G 
Cause you will answer when I call, 
      C                         D 
If I soar above the clouds and then, 
         G                      C 
I come crashin? back to earth again, 
          D               G - Em7 - C - G - D 
You will catch me when I fall, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
All these years I?ve watched you trip and stumble, 
There were times that I feared that you were lost, 
But every tear that I dried after you tumbled, 
Comes to mind when I?m considering the, 
 
 
(chorus) 
        C                 D 
But whenever I?m feeling low, 
         G                   C 
I won?t have to cry alone I know, 
                D             G 
Cause you will answer when I call, 
      C                         D 
If I soar above the clouds and then, 
         G                      C 
I come crashin? back to earth again, 
          D               G  
You will catch me when I fall,

In my heart there?s a place for you to run to, 
    Em7          C                  D 
Any time you?re tired and hurt and blue, 
       Em7          C        G        D 
For my part I have only to remind you, 
         Em7      Bm              D - Dadd11/C - Dadd11/B - Dadd11/A 
You will find me waiting when you do,
