Note: Jon plays a little figure in certain
   portions of the song alternating between
   A and Asus2 and D and Dsus2.  For the
   purpose of this tab I will mark them
   as A* and D* respectively.  Just listen
   and you will figure it out.

We'd seen them together

That hotel by the highway where we stayed
D                       E
There's something every hour

The pen, the car, the paint, the peel

The moon and star, the message clear
        C#m                D
Liberty raised her hand to us
         Bm      F
As if to say its ok

I said don't leave me don't break the tie
A*                  C#7
Then I left you and time went rolling by
D                       E
Now here's what I can't stand
D                 E
I know that every landmark
D        A      E    D/F#    A
Triggers memories


Chorus 3:
   E      D/F#             F#m
