Intro: C F 

C                                F                C   F 

In a long stretch of highway at midnight in New Mexico  
   C                               F                   G 
It's a small colored light that shines from your car radio 
       F                       C                                                
It's the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot 
     F                                   G 
And gives you the very last hit from her pot 

        C       F                        C F 
It's a lonely feelin' it's what you've got 
        C       F                   C F 
It's a lonely feelin' like it or not 

        C                          F                     C F 
It's a crack in the sidewalk right next to the pay telephone  
        C                           F                       G 
It's someone's recorder when you're hoping that someone is home 
         F               C 
It's an hour to kill to do what you please 
       F                  G 
But nobody's up for just shootin' the breeze 

        C      F                      C F  
It's a lonely feelin' it's like a disease  
         C     F                           C F 
It's a lonely feelin' you pray that it leaves

It's your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well  
         C                              F                     G 
Yea you try to break through but you've run out of stories to tell 
        F                       C 
So you bid him goodbye and you step into space 
F                     G                    
So many questions that you cannot face 


        C      F                     C F 
It's a lonely feelin' taking his place  
        C      F                            C F 
It's a lonely feelin' that you just can't erase  
         
          C                             F                      C F      
Well it's three men from Chile who are tired and want to go home  
         C                            F                   G 
They've run out of money and they're stuck up in east Oregon 
        F                         C 
So you give 'em the small bit of change in your hand 
     F                                        G 
You try to speak Spanish but they don't understand 

        C      F                       C F 
It's a lonely feelin' that gets to a man  
        C     F                               C F 
It's a lonely feelin' that runs through the land.

Well it's a statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died  
                                                              G 
All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside 
            F                              C 
But you're growing religious the older you get 
      F                                     G 
You haven't been saved but it could happen yet 

        C      F                  C F 
It's a lonely feelin' full of regret  
        C      F                         C F 
It's a lonely feelin' won't let you forget  

           C                           F                       C F 
yea it's a bus stop, an street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum  
      C                       F                          G 
It's fright and rejected, neglected and blind, deaf and dumb 
         F                             C 
But you look in the mirror and you're still hangin' in 
        F                    G 
It's there to remind you how lucky you've been 

        C      F                  C F 
It's a lonely feelin' now and again  
      C       F                          C   F 
It's lonely  feelin' that comes from within......
