Intro: CGCGCF
Sitting in a motel
GC
On the outskirts of Raton
AmF
How the years have flown since Townes
GAm
Passed through these hills alone
FC
I got someone who loves me
GEmF
But it's too late to phone
GC
I wanna ride this road forever
AmEmC
And I'm dying to go home
Interlude: CFGCFGCF
Out there on the interstate
GC
The hurrying of the cars
AmF
High above room 28
GAm
The swirling of the stars
FC
And I draw the vinyl curtains
GEmF
Like a veil across my skin
GC
I turn the bedside lamp down
AmEmF
And I let my shadows in
Bridge:
CG
'Cause I feel so full and
C
So empty handed
FC
In a world so cruel
EmF
I don't think I understand it
C
Are we still the fools who
GEmF
Don't know right from wrong
GCEmGF
Here at midnight on Raton?
Interlude: CFGCFGCF
I find a crumpled napkin
GC
And I fumble for a pen
AmF
Chase a fleeting moment
GAm
Like it was my long lost friend
FC
And I curl up 'neath the blankets
GEmF
And I dream until the dawn
GCEmF
But, come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
GCEmF
Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
