(intro)  Ab5   F5   C5   G5

(verse 1)
C5          C#5     C5             C5
 Rain falls   upon a sleepy southern town
Ab5           F5      C5             G5
 The midnight moon   burning brightly
C5             C#5    C5                 C5
 Memories rush in          like a river forlorn
Ab5      Db5           G5
 As you lay sleeping without me
Ab5   F5            G5        C5
 Highway song keeps me   rolling on
Ab5   Db5       G5
 Still I long for you

(chorus)
C5      C5
 Des?demona,
C5     C5
 I will be
   F5            Gb5
 your only one
    G5
 Oh yeah

(verse 2)
C5         C#5     C5          C5
 I make my living    calling out my pain
Ab5             F5          C5         G5
 Trying to make it through    another day
C5             C#5    C5                 C5
 Arms reach for me        on the wind I can feel it
Ab5     Db5              G5
 They're a thousand miles away
Ab5        F5          G5                       C5
 Yours eyes remind me  of everything beautiful and blue
Ab5              Db5         G5
 and I won't feel myself till I'm with you

(chorus)
C5      C5
 Des?demona,
C5     C5
 I will be
   F5            Gb5
 your only one
    G5
 Oh yeah

(verse 3)
C5         C#5    C5                  C5
 So hold a candle     till the darkness fades
Ab5     F5         C5           G5
 Night time sleeps but not for long
C5           C#5                    C5                      C5
 My heart is pounding like the ocean   my soul's empty as the sky
Ab5          Db5                 G5
 But I know someday I'll be coming home
Ab5     F5        G5              C5
 Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye
Ab5   Db5       G5
 Still I burn for you

(chorus)
C5      C5
 Des?demona,
C5     C5
 I will be
   F5            Gb5
 your only one
    G5
 Oh yeah
C5             Eb5    F5        G5
 I just wanna be your only one
C5                     Eb5       F5     G5
 I just wanna be your only one
                C5
 Your only one
