[Intro]

E - C#m - G#m - A - B (x2)

[Verse 1]

E                             C#m           G#m A B
I drove through the desert last night
E                    C#m                  G#m A B
I carried the weight of our last fight
E                                   C#m                        G#m
Elvis singing "Don't be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too
        A                       B
It's like we're going under.
C#m                                F#m                                  G#m
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
                                  A                           B
The question of my heart came to my mind:

[Chorus]

           A            E
If I go on with you by my side,
            A   E         B                         A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                 E                               B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?

[Verse 2]

E            C#m                 G#m A B
Maybe a thief stole your heart
E                    C#m            G#m
Or maybe we just drifted apart.
            A        B
I remember driving
E                   C#m                       G#m
In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood,
A                             B
Backs against the windshield.
C#m                                  F#m                                           G#m
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
                               A                  B
That paradise is buried in the dust.

[Chorus]

             A          E
If I go on with you by my side,
            A   E         B                         A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
                 E                                 B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)

[Bridge]
