[VERSE]
Bm D
I’ll call her Eliza, the girl with no name
A Em
All wrapped up in silence, in secrets, in pain
Bm D
In north country winter, both tied to the road
A Em
She Smiled and said nothing, I bared her my soul.
Bm D
And I knew that I loved her, but I couldn’t say why
A Em
And all of that silence might well have been lies
Bm D
She cried out “I love you, but I’ll never be free.
A Em
There ‘aint no use guessing, just forget about me.”

[CHORUS]
D A Em G
Oooh, Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
D A
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
Bm G
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
D A Em G
And Oooh Oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
D A
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
Bm G
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
Bm D A Em Bm D A Em
[VERSE]
Bm D
My footsteps were haunted for many long weeks
A Em
I couldn’t find shelter in those dull dusty streets
Bm D
So I found me a railcar with no windows, no doors
A Em
Poured out all my love on the cold rusty floor
[VERSE]
Bm D
And in the gray morning I was long gone, away
A Em
In a far eastern country where the language is strange
Bm D
Where the seabirds they circle no ocean nearby
A Em
Like lost souls they’re crying, lamenting their plight
Bm A Em
[VERSE]
Bm D
The sun rises and sets in the same goddamn place
A Em
Shadows circle my body and laugh in my face
Bm D
Though I set out to find me a whole brand new life
A Em
I don’t want to forget her, I don’t want to die
Bm A Em Bm A Em
[CHORUS]
D A Em G
Oooh Oooh, It’s lonesome out here on the road
D A
Where the last points of fire that light the night sky
Bm G
Burn down to their embers and flicker and die
D A Em G
And Oooh oooh, My fingers go numb in the cold
D A
Where the last little spark that’s disrupting the dark
Bm G
Is that last bit of feeling that’s left in my heart
