VERSE 1
(Note: In some places, there's a quick open strum on the low strings transitioning
between Bm and G)
G D
There's an empty hall
Bm
and it echos back at you
G A
it's like an empty freight line rollin' through the dead of night
D
no end in sight and nowhere to go
Bm
with no one to call your own,
G A
there ain't no voice on the other end of the telephone
CHORUS
G A
oh and I wish I could see that smile
D G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
PLAY INTRO
VERSE 2
G D
Well there's a flood of tears
Bm
they're just falling down like rain
G A
they spill into your empty bourbon glass
D
pour it out fill it up again
Bm
until you feel no pain
G A
wander to that bar and everybody's having fun
they don't understand
CHORUS
G A
if I could see that smile
D G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
INTRO/SOLO
VERSE 3
G D
There's a mirrored wall
Bm
and it's starin' back at you
G A
it's like an empty freight line movin' through the dead of night
D
no end in sight and nowhere to go
Bm
with no place to call your home,
G A
there ain't no voice on the other end of the telephone
CHORUS
G A
oh and I wish I could see that smile
D G
And hold it in a frame just for a while
A
take me to the edge of the highway
I'll find my way back home
[Play INTRO four more times, end on G]
