Chords

INTRO: G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D C
            Em
Between the shifting shadows

       G        D
In the no-man's zone

          C          D          Em
There's a bar at the end of the street
Some poor country music
       G           D
One or two Sixty's songs

      C               D          Em
And a place where the night owls sleep

    G     D
Oh, loneliness

         G           D
You're a hard earned crust

           Em                  D       
You're the night at the end of day

           Em
'Cause you pay your dues 

       G        D
On the road you choose

         C         D       Em
With the price you have to pay
INTERLUDE:G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D C
         Em
Down the neon aisles

        G        D
And the twilight miles

          C           D          Em
Where the world takes comfort in shame
And all I can hear
     G           D
Is a voice in my ear

         C       D        Em
And it's calling out your name

          G       D
Still the silence glows

    G          D
The four winds blow

      Em                D      
And a dark moon rising above

       Em
Oh, to rest by your side

       G           D
In the heat of the fire

       C            D        Em
In the sleep of the night of love
BRIDGE:
     G        D
When darkness hangs

       Em    Bm
On the dirty city

Em     D          Em      C
Winter falls on a foreign town

         G         D
And it's all I can do

   Am           C
To be here with you

  Em                    D
Tonight as the sun goes down

    G       D
But I would cross

    G     D
The ocean wide

    Em              D
I'd walk the mighty foam

   Em
If I could lie

        G      D
In your arms tonight

           C    D      Em
You're the only rose I know
