[Intro]
D G G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
I took the long way home tonight down a lonely route
G D
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio
D G D
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
G D
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find
A A
The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky
Em A D
There to remind me what's missing tonight
[Chorus]
G D
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand
Em D
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man
G D
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand
Em A D
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand
[Repeat Intro]
D G G D
[Verse 2]
D G D
Staring out my window now at the world passing me by
G D
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time
D G D
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain
G D
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train
A A
The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
Em A D
They're to remind me what's missing tonight
[Chorus]
G D
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand
Em D
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man
G D
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand
Em A D
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand
[Repeat Intro]
D G G D
[Bridge]
A G D
It's just another night on the one hand
Em A
On the other, it cuts like a knife
[Chorus]
G D
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand
Em D
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man
G D
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand
Em A D
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand
