Intro B  A  G  A  
        B  A  G  A  B 

B                                               A 
I stood there waiting as you drove by, sad but true 
B                                               A 
All the years that we've been friends, shame on you 
G#m                        A 
Now times are rough when you're not around 
G#m                           E 
And I wish you well with the new love you've found 
              C#m       F#                   B     A  F# 
But someday, baby, I'll see you on the road down 
B                                               A 
In times of trouble it's easy to turn and walk away 
B                                            A 
Life is too tough, guess, it's too much for you to stay 
G#m                            A 
I guess, it's safe to say I'll be around 
G#m                            E 
It'll sure be hard to stay in the same town 
              C#m        F#                  B      
But someday, baby, I'll see you on the road down 



             F#        G#m 
On the road down, I'll see you 
             E                   B    
Should you decide, he's not the one 
             F#     G#m   
On the road down, believe me 
         A                                     
If you change your mind, I'll be here for you 

( B  A  G  A  B  A  G  A  ) 

Solo F#  G#m  A  E  F#  G#m  A 

B                                    A 
Promises, promises out the door, I guess, you've lost faith 
B                                                        A 
Well, I've tried and I've tried to get you to stay with no saving grace 
G#m                            A 
I hope that things will turn around 
G#m                               E 
If you're not happy with the new love you've found 
             C#m         F#                  B  
But someday, baby, I'll see you on the road down 



             F#        G#m 
On the road down, I'll see you 
             E                   B    
Should you decide, he's not the one 
             F#     G#m   
On the road down, believe me 
         A                          
If you change your mind 
             F#        G#m 
On the road down, I'll see you 
             E                   B    
Should you decide, he's not the one 
             F#     G#m   
On the road down, believe me 
        A                          
If you change your mind 
                 F# 
I'll be here for you 
G#m      E                      B 
Call me anytime of day, it's all right 
F#                      G#m               A 
I'll be waiting by the phone if you need me, baby, it's all right 
F#   G#m  E  B 
Hey, hey 

( F#  G#m  E  B )
