Every now and then I like to pick up the phone
           F
And make a call down memory lane
             Am                        G                    F
Well how you been, well baby you could say I've been lonely too
          C
I've been picking up the pieces ever since the day
           F
I left you sleeping on the motel road
            Am                G                         F
I heard you had two kids, got married, it was quite the show
                           G
You're my one stone true regret
       F                 G
As I'm lying alone in my bed
               C
On this silent night

  G                       F                  G    (F Am G)
I say a little prayer for you on this silent night
                    F              Am       G
I send this message through, I was wrong to run
        C             F        G
Shoulda took a little time for life
       C                  Am               G
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
          C           G      F       G   F  C
I'm doing time in paradise   on this silent night

I remember how we touched, we were young in love
       F
Didn't know what was wrong or right
        Am                           G                   F
We just stuck to each other like the earth sticks to the sun
    C
You taught me how to laugh, I learned how to cry
       F
It was easy as one, two, three
        Am                  G                   F 
We were lucky and wild back then, just happy to be
                             G            F                     G
Now I think about you with desire, and my heart's still full of fire

In my mind I see the wind blow through your hair
F        C             F             G
I have a photograph of you and I somewhere
F        C               F                  G
Painting pictures of the life that we would share

I wear this badge of sorrow, but how was I to know?
            F                         C
I found the truth comes easy when you live in the light
  F             Am      G
I guess it only goes to show
       F         Am             G
So you think I'm crazy 'cause I feel this way
      F           Am         G               F        G
Gonna pick myself up off the ground and I'll turn it around
