Chords

[Intro] D E A D D E A A [Verse]
        F#m           D             A        E
Late at night on some dark deserted highway

      F#m     D               E E
On my way to another lonesome town

            F#m           D                A        E
I thought I might see the first light of a new day

      F#m      C#m                E      D  A  Bm
As it lay like fool's gold on the ground
[Chorus]
        D                E
But whenever I'm feeling low

        A                   D
I won't have to cry alone I know

      D        E             A A
Cause you will answer when I call

     D                         E
If I soar above the clouds and then

       A                       D
I come crashing back to Earth again

D        E               A A
You will catch me when I fall
[Interlude] F#m D A E [Verse]
          F#m        D                    A        E
All these years I've watched you trip and stumble

           F#m          D                    E E
There were times that I feared that you were lost

          F#m    D               A        E
And every tear I dried after you tumbled

         F#m              C#m          E     D  A  Bm
Comes to mind when I'm considering the cost
[Chorus]
        D                E
But whenever I'm feeling low

        A                   D
I won't have to cry alone I know

      D        E             A A
Cause you will answer when I call

     D                         E
If I soar above the clouds and then

       A                       D
I come crashing back to Earth again

D        E               A A
You will catch me when I fall
[Break] F#m D A E F#m D E E D E A D D E A A [Verse]
      F#m              D                A       E
In my heart, there's a place for you to run to

   F#m         D                  E E
Anytime you're tired and hurt and blue

       F#m        D         A         E
For my part, I’ve only to remind you

         F#m     C#m              E    D  A  Bm
You will find me waiting when you do
[Outro]
        D                E
But whenever I'm feeling low

        A                   D
I won't have to cry alone I know

      D        E             A A
Cause you will answer when I call

     D                         E
If I soar above the clouds and then

       A                       D
I come crashing back to Earth again

D        E               A A
You will catch me when I fall
