(intro)  Abmaj7   Fm   Cm   G7

(verse 1)
Cm          C#m7     Cm7             Cm6
 Rain falls   upon a sleepy southern town
Abmaj7           Fm      Cm             G7
 The midnight moon   burning brightly
Cm             C#m7    Cm7                 Cm6
 Memories rush in          like a river forlorn
Abmaj7      Db           G7
 As you lay sleeping without me
Abmaj7   Fm            G7        Cm
 Highway song keeps me   rolling on
Abmaj7   Db       G7
 Still I long for you

(chorus)
C      C/Bb
 Des-demona,
C/A     C/G
 I will be
   F            Gbdim7
 your only one
    G
 Oh yeah

(verse 2)
Cm         C#m7     Cm7          Cm6
 I make my living    calling out my pain
Abmaj7             Fm          Cm         G7
 Trying to make it through    another day
Cm             C#m7    Cm7                 Cm6
 Arms reach for me        on the wind I can feel it
Abmaj7     Db              G7
 They're a thousand miles away
Abmaj7        Fm          G7                       Cm
 Yours eyes remind me  of everything beautiful and blue
Abmaj7              Db         G7
 and I won't feel myself till I'm with you

(chorus)
C      C/Bb
 Des-demona,
C/A     C/G
 I will be
   F            Gbdim7
 your only one
    G
 Oh yeah

(verse 3)
Cm         C#m7    Cm7                  Cm6
 So hold a candle     till the darkness fades
Abmaj7     Fm         Cm           G7
 Night time sleeps but not for long
Cm           C#m7                    Cm7                      Cm6
 My heart is pounding like the ocean   my soul's empty as the sky
Abmaj7          Db                 G7
 But I know someday I'll be coming home
Abmaj7     Fm        G7              Cm
 Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye
Abmaj7   Db       G7
 Still I burn for you

(chorus)
C      C/Bb
 Des-demona,
C/A     C/G
 I will be
   F            Gbdim7
 your only one
    G
 Oh yeah
C             Eb/G    F/A        G
 I just wanna be your only one
C                     Eb/G       F/A     G/B
 I just wanna be your only one
                C
 Your only one
