Bb                   F 
Midnight flights and barroom lights 
    Bb                Eb 
And rollin' for three days and nights 
    Bb                            F7 
And motel rooms have been my only home 


     Bb                F 
They gave me these sad knowing eyes 
    Bb            Eb 
And old age lines before my time 
  Bb                F7          Bb 
I guess I spent too many nights alone 


Bb                F 
Denver trains and LA games 
      Bb                Eb 
Taxis through the New York rain 
   Bb                       F7 
On everybody's party but my own 


        Bb                F 
Tellin' myself love could wait 
    Bb            Eb 
Now maybe girl you've come too late 
  Bb                F7          Bb 
I may have spent too many nights alone 


Ab 
I never let nobody any closer than my body 
Eb    Gm    Cm                  Fm   Bb 
And I never needed someone till now 
Ab 
And you know I want so much to reach out my soul and touch you 
    Eb              Bb 
But I don't know if I know how 


      Eb                   Bb 
Cause midnight flights and barroom lights 
    Eb                Ab 
And rollin' for three days and nights 
    Eb                           Bb7 
And open roads have been my only home 

 
Eb               Bb7             Gdim            Ab 
Learnin' ways to say goodbye and songs that only make me cry 
Eb              Bb7             Cm    Ab 
I guess I spent too many nights alone 
         Bb7    Eb 
Too many nights alone
