Capo 1st fret
Verse 1:
[D]Tree blows against my [A]window, there's a s[Bm]torm brewing in my h[G]eart,
Watching cr[D]edits roll on a l[A]ate night T.V. s[D]how,
Lonely street light p[A]eeking through the c[Bm]racks in my window sh[G]ade,
After a[D]ll that he's seen I wo[A]nder if he truly k[D]nows,
Did he watch her when she sla[A]mmed the door, like a h[Bm]ammer against the n[G]ail,
[D]Leaving me in w[A]hat's become a lo[G]nely pr[A]ison c[D]ell.
Chorus 1:
I thought al[G]ways[D] meant f[A]orever,
I guess you co[D]uldn't play second fi[G]ddle to my g[A]uitar,
like an [Bm]old man dr[G]inking down at the t[Em]avern,
well I was o[G]ne for the road and now you're h[A]eaded on back h[D]ome.
Verse 2:
[D]I met you at a p[A]arty, seems like o[Bm]nly yester[G]day,
We were f[D]alling in love and li[A]ving to chase our d[D]reams,
I gave you flowers on V[A]alentines, and I [Bm]had a strong feeling deep d[G]own insi[D]de,
That someday we'd make a h[A]ome and a f[D]amily,
I'd say I'm sorry in a h[A]eartbeat if [Bm]you would only l[G]et me,
I could l[D]earn to forgive if y[A]ou only f[D]orget.
In a hotel room down in A[A]ustin a[Bm]fter another one night s[G]how,
I ca[D]ught your silhouette c[A]reeping down the street, un[G]der a m[A]oonlight g[D]low,
and as you took my h[A]and, [Bm]so went all my p[G]ain,
we s[D]tepped right off the pl[A]atform and ca[G]ught the m[A]idnight tr[D]ain.
Chorus 2:
And I guess [G]always[D] means for[A]ever,
And I w[D]on't make you play second fi[G]ddle to my gu[A]itar,
Like an o[Bm]ld man d[G]rinking down at the t[Em]avern,
We're [G]one for the road and we're h[A]eaded on back h[D]ome,
Yeah o[G]ne for the road and we're he[A]aded on back h[D]ome,
[G]One for the road and we're h[A]eaded on back h[Em]o--[D]me[G].[A][D]
