Chorus:
        C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)     FOn (133211@1)that freeway the light was receding
    C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)   FHer (133211@1)beauty, a sight so misleading

F (133211@1)                                  CAnd (x32010@1)turning aside my caress spoke of all that she'd not yet done
                G (320003@1)                                FAs (133211@1)if I was the doubting one, who would have to be shown.

F (133211@1)                                     CThen (x32010@1)one room at a time I watched every light in our house come on
