Tom: C
INTRO: C G C G C
F
Sitting in a motel
G C
On the outskirts of Raton
Am F
How the years have flown since Townes
G Am
Passed through these hills alone
F C
I got someone who loves me
G Em F
But it's too late to phone
G C
I wanna ride this road forever
Am Em C
And I'm dying to go home
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
F
Out there on the interstate
G C
The hurrying of the cars
Am F
High above room 28
G Am
The swirling of the stars
F C
And I draw the vinyl curtains
G Em F
Like a veil across my skin
G C
I turn the bedside lamp down
Am Em F
And I let my shadows in
BRIDGE:
C G
'Cause I feel so full and
C
So empty handed
F C
In a world so cruel
Em F
I don't think I understand it
C
Are we still the fools who
G Em F
Don't know right from wrong
G C Em G F
Here at midnight on Raton?
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
F
I find a crumpled napkin
G C
And I fumble for a pen
Am F
Chase a fleeting moment
G Am
Like it was my long lost friend
F C
And I curl up 'neath the blankets
G Em F
And I dream until the dawn
G C Em F
But, come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
G C Em F
Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
