[Verse]
 
         F      C    C/G
It's a lonely road
         Am     C   C/G
For the tired man
            Am     G        C    C/G
And you can see it in your face
 
               F        C     C/G
And you'll be home in spring
      Am          C     C/G
I can wait 'til then
Am             G       F   C     C/G
I heard you're on the big train
 
 
[Refrain]
 
    F                    C
And oh, this too shall pass
      F                C         G
This loneliness won't last for long
Am         G       F         C
I wasn't there to take his place
Am        G         F     C
I was ten thousand miles away
 
 
[Verse]
 
             F         C     C/G
So when you hear my voice
         Am      C      C/G
When you say my name
     Am   G           C    C/G
May it never give you pain
 
 
        F       C     C/G
But I don't want to go
          Am      C     C/G
But it's time to leave
        Am   G            F    C    C/G
You'll be on my mind, my destiny
 
 
[Refrain]
 
    F                   C
And I won't fight it in vain
F                      C  G  Am
I'll love you just the same
           G           F          C
I couldn't know what's in your mind
Am             G                F      C
But I saw the pictures, you're looking fine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C
And there was a time
                          G
When I stood in line for love, for love, for love
       F                            C
But I let you go, oh, I let you go
 
 
C
And he fell apart
 
With his broken heart
       G
And this blood this blood this blood
         F                         C
Oh, it drains from my skin, it does
 
C/G
F  C  C/G
