Tom: G
G Am7
Feels like this motel might explode
D G
I just can't sleep out on the road
G Am
and the snow it piles outside my door
C
and I just can't call you
Am G
late at night anymore
[Verse 2]
G Am7
I set off young to make my name
D G
now I'm not young in a young man's game
G Am
Could've had some wins if I'd kept score
C Am G
and I just can't call you late at night anymore
[Chorus]
Bm
Well through the years
C Am G
each mile just added to the distance between us two
Bm
Somewhere on some road
C Am
I crossed that line I moved too far
D
now there's nothing I can do
[Verse 3]
G Am7
The river forks and the highway bends
D G
the stories fade, but they never end
G Am
I speak your name, and I walk the floor
C Am G
and I just can't call you late at night anymore
[Verse 4]
G Am7
We all do things we don't believe
D G
yes it was me who chose to leave
G Am
still don't know why, or know what for
C Am G
I just can't call you late at night anymore
[Chorus]
Bm
Well through the years
C Am G
each mile just added to the distance between us two
Bm
Somewhere on some road
C Am
I crossed that line I moved too far
D
now there's nothing I can do
[Verse 5]
G Am7
After midnight I have found
D G
the hours slow, and the clocks break down
G Am
and nothing moves like it did before
C Am G
and I just can't call you late at night anymore
