[Intro]
Em
 
[Verse I]
Em7                           Am
  Sittin' on the highway in a broken van
B7               Em   Dm
Thinkin' of you again
C                                     G
  Guess I'll have to hitchhike to the station
C                               G     B7
  With every step I'll see your face
Em                      Am
  Like a mirror looking back at me
B7                     Em  Dm
Sayin' you're the only one
C                           G    F
  Makin' me feel I could survive
C                    G  B7
  and so glad to be alive
 
[Chorus]
G            D/F#          Em              Dm
  Nowhere to run and not a guitar to play
C             B                  Am          C
  Messed up inside and it's been raining all day
G           B7    Em    Dm
  Since you went away
C           D          G     G/F#   Em
  Manhattan Island serenade
 
[Verse 2]
Em7                           Am
  Sittin' on the highway in a broken van
B7               Em   Dm
Thinkin' of you again
C                                       G       F
  Guess I'll have to hitchhike down the highway
C                               G     B7
  With every step I'll see your face
Em                      Am
  Like a mirror looking back at me
B7                     Em  Dm
Sayin' you're the only one
C                           G    Gadd#9 G
  Makin' me feel I could survive
C                    G  B7
  and so glad to be alive
 
[Chorus]
G            D/F#          Em              Dm

  Since you went away

I'm pretty sure the transitional D chord is a Dm pretty much everywhere except for the Manhattan Island Serenade part!

I transposed to Am, and I suggest the first two lines of the chorus with these chords: Am Am7 E7 E7Nowhere to run and not a guitar to playF C Dm DmMessed up inside and it's been raining all dayThe rest of the chords sound okay to me.thank you for sharing, boots49
