Verse 1: 
D                     A                  Bm                  G 
Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart, 
           D                A               D 
Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,  
                     A                   Bm                   G 
Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade, 
       D                     A                 D 
After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows,  
                             A                      Bm                 G 
Did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail,  
D              A                G      A     D 
Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell. 
 
Chorus 1: 
            G   D       A 
I thought always meant forever, 
              D                    G           A 
I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar,  
        Bm        G                   Em 
like an old man drinking down at the tavern,  
            G                               A              D 
well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
D               A                 Bm        G 
I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday, 
         D                    A                  D 
We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,  
                       A                Bm                         G       D 
I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside,  
                          A          D 
That someday we'd make a home and a family,  
                        A           Bm              G 
I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me, 
         D                   A        D 
I could learn to forgive if you only forget.  
                         A      Bm                      G 
In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,  
    D                     A                          G      A         D 
I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow,  
                    A    Bm              G 
and as you took my hand, so went all my pain,  
    D                      A            G         A         D 
we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train. 
 
Chorus 2: 
            G     D         A 
And I guess always means forever, 
       D                           G            A 
And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar, 
         Bm      G                    Em 
Like an old man drinking down at the tavern, 
      G                           A              D 
We're one for the road and we're headed on back home, 
      G                           A             D 
Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home, 
G                           A              Em D G A D 
One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me. 
 
 
enjoy :)
