G               Em                    Am                         G
I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do 
G            D                         C                   G
I'??ve got one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you 
G                   Em                   Am            C    G 
Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain'??t heard a word since 
G                        Em                   C                G
So I'??ll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind 
G                                  C             G
All I'??ve got is the radio and this empty distant sky 
G                            
And Willie'??s singing somewhere over the rainbow 
    C       G                          Em
But you, no you won'??t see the tears in my eyes 
Chorus: 
  C                 G         D
Before the night is gone 
          Em          C                G       D  Am  Em
Won'??t you tell me our love will linger on? 
Em                           G          D                C                G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark 
Em           C                        G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark

G                  Em             C                    G
Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true 
G               Em                     C                 G
The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few 
G                   Em                C               G
We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home 
G                  Em            C                          G
But we'??ve got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones 
G                    Em                  C                          G
When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds 
G                    Em                  Am   C       G      Em
Like the rivers from that point you'??d go your way and I'??d go mine 
Chorus: 
  C                 G         D
Before the night is gone 
          Em          C                G       D  Am  Em
Won'??t you tell me our love will linger on? 
Em                           G          D                C                G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark 
Em           C                         G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark

G                      Em                  C              G
The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs 
G                  Em                         C              G
The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize 
G                       Em           C              G
About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again 
G                    Em             C                            G
They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand 
G            Em                    C              G            
But babe you never will and that'??s why I love you still 
G                    Em                 C             G           Em
No matter how far we drift apart You'??ll always have a piece of my heart 
Chorus:
  C                 G         D
Before the night is gone 
          Em          C                G       D  Am  Em
Won'??t you tell me our love will linger on? 
Em                           G          D                C                G
And knock that chip off your shoulder Into your heart of stone to start a spark 
Em           C                         G
Cause I need someway to see.... in the dark
