G                                 Cmaj7               G  Cmaj7
It�s a long stretch of highway at midnight in New Mexico
G                                  Cmaj7                 D
It�s a small colored light that shines from your car radio
         Cmaj7                G
It�s the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot
    Cmaj7                         D
And gives you the very last hit from her pot
G             Cmaj7                     G    Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling it�s what you�ve got
G             Cmaj7               G   Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling like it or not

G                                 Cmaj7                 G    Cmaj7
It�s a crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone
G                               Cmaj7                 D
It�s someone�s recorder when hoping that someone is home
      Cmaj7                G
It�s an hour to kill to do what you please
    Cmaj7                   D
But nobody�s up for just shooting the breeze
G              Cmaj7                   G   Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling it�s like a disease
G              Cmaj7                       G    Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling you pray that it leaves

                                                                           G    
                                Cmaj7                         G  Cmaj7
It�s your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well
G                        Cmaj7                          D
You try to break through but you run outta stories to tell
         Cmaj7                G
So you bid him goodbye and you step into space
    Cmaj7                        D
There�s so many questions that you cannot face
G             Cmaj7                 G       Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling taking his place
G             Cmaj7                     G    Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling you just can�t erase

                                                                            G   
                     Cmaj7                            G     Cmaj7
It�s three men from Chile who are tired and they wanna go home
G                               Cmaj7                   D
They�ve run outta money and they�re stuck up in East Oregon
         Cmaj7                     G
So you give them the small bit of change from your hand
    Cmaj7                          D
You try to speak Spanish but they don�t understand
G              Cmaj7                G   Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling it gets to a man
G              Cmaj7                          G    Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling that runs through the land

                                                                           G    
                         Cmaj7                        G  Cmaj7
It�s a statue of Jesus that your grandmother had when she died
G                                     Cmaj7                    D
All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside
         Cmaj7                     G
But you�re growing religious the older you get
    Cmaj7                      D
You haven�t been saved but it could happen yet
G              Cmaj7              G      Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling full of regret
G              Cmaj7                   G      Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling won�t let you forget

G                                  Cmaj7                   G  Cmaj7
It�s a bus stop, a street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum
G                         Cmaj7                         D
It�s fright and rejected, neglected the blind deaf and dumb
         Cmaj7                       G
But you look in the mirror and you�re still hanging in
    Cmaj7                   D
It�s there to remind you how lucky you�ve been
G             Cmaj7              G   Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling now and again
G             Cmaj7                      G      Cmaj7
It�s a lonely feeling that comes from within.
