 [Verse] 
DD If today was not an endless highway
DD If tonight was not an endless trail
GAD If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
GAA7 D Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
 [Chorus] 
GAD Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
GAD If I could hear her heart softly pounding
GAD Only she was lying by me
GAD Then I'd lie in my bed once again
 
| D5 D5/F | D5D5/A D5/C |
 [Verse] 
DD I can't see my reflection in the water
DD I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
GAD I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
GAD I can't remember the sound of my own name
 [Chorus] 
GAD Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
GAD If I could hear her heart softly pounding
GAD Only she was lying by me
GAD Then I'd lie in my bed once again
 
| D5 D5/F | D5D5/A D5/C |
 [Verse] 
DD There's beauty in the silver singing river
DD There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
GAA7D But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
GAD That I remember in my true love's eyes
 [Chorus] 
GAD Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
GAD If I could hear her heart softly pounding
GAD Only she was lying by me
GAA7D Then I'd lie in my bed once again
 
| D5 D5/F | D5D5/A D5/C |
 [Verse] 
DD If today was not endless highway
DD If tonight was not endless trail
GAD If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
GAA7 D Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
 [Chorus] 
GAA7D Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
GAA7 D If I could hear her heart softly pounding
GAA7D If only she was lying by me
GAA7 D Then I'd lie in my bed once again
