(Intro)
[Abmaj7] [Fm] [Cm] [G7]
(Verse 1)
[Cm] Rain falls [Cm#7] upon a [Cm7]sleepy southern [Cm6]town
[Abmaj7] The midnight moo[Fm]n burn[Cm]ing brightly[G7]
[Cm] Memories rush [Cm#7]in [Cm7] like a river for[Cm6]lorn
[Abmaj7] As you lay [Db]sleeping with[G7]out me
[Abmaj7] Highway [Fm]song keeps me [G7] rolling [Cm]on
[Abmaj7] Still I [Db]long for [G7]you
(Chorus)
[C] Des?de[C/Bb]mona,
[C/A] I will [C/G]be
yo[F]ur only one[Gbdim7]
Oh [G]yeah
(Verse 2)
[Cm] I make my [Cm#7]living [Cm7] calling out [Cm6]my pain
[Abmaj7] Trying to make it [Fm]through a[Cm]nother day[G7]
[Cm] Arms reach for [Cm#7]me [Cm7] on the wind I can [Cm6]feel it
[Abmaj7] They're a [Db]thousand miles a[G7]way
[Abmaj7] Yours eyes re[Fm]mind me of [G7]everything beautiful and [Cm]blue
[Abmaj7] and I won't feel my[Db]self till I[G7]'m with you
(Chorus)
[C] Des?de[C/Bb]mona,
[C/A] I will [C/G]be
yo[F]ur only one[Gbdim7]
Oh [G]yeah

[Abmaj7] [Fm] [Cm] [G7]
(Verse 3)
[Cm] So hold a [Cm#7]candle [Cm7] till the darkness [Cm6]fades
[Abmaj7] Night time [Fm]sleeps but [Cm]not for long[G7]
[Cm] My heart is [Cm#7]pounding like the ocean [Cm7] my soul's empty as the [Cm6]sky
[Abmaj7] But I know some[Db]day I'll be coming [G7]home
[Abmaj7] Time goes [Fm]by in the [G7]twinkling of an [Cm]eye
[Abmaj7] Still I [Db]burn for [G7]you
(Chorus)
[C] Des?de[C/Bb]mona,
[C/A] I will [C/G]be
yo[F]ur only one[Gbdim7]
Oh [G]yeah
[C] I just wanna [Eb/G]be your [F/A]only one[G]

Your only one[C]
