[Verse 1]
          G
I’ve been long gone
         C            D              G
From the stage to the highway to the night grille
         C            D          G
And everywhere I went, time just stood still
       C             D                 G     Bm  C  D
And in every town it all went down the same

[Verse 2]
          G
I’ve been long gone
             C             D                      G
And in every dream was the dream that you’d still want me
         C               D                     G
In every motel room your brown eyes would just haunt me
       C            D               G     Bm  C  D
And in every town I called out your name

[Verse 3]
          G
I’ve been long gone
    C              D             G
Set loose again to chase another payday
           C            D                G
Knowing if I could just hold you, I’d be okay
        C               D            G     Bm  C  D
Tell me once again that you’re still mine

[Chorus]
          C
There was nothing on the highway
          Bm
There was nothing but the wind
      C
And I couldn’t look ahead
        Bm
I could just see where I’ve been
     Am
From Hartford down to Tampa, Duluth to Malibu
      C                                                  D
I ran every trick, I told any lie just to get on home to you

[Verse 4]
          G
I’ve been long gone
        C               D               G
Now I’m standing in the doorway of your front hall
           C             D           G
Ain’t this better than a letter or a phone call
        C               D            G     Bm  C  D
Tell me once again that you’re still mine

[Verse 5]
          G
I’ve been long gone
          C        D              G
Unpack my bags and throw away the suitcase
       C                      D               G
Let me know it’s true, let me just touch your face
        C         D                G     Bm  C  D
Tell me you still love me one more time

[Verse 6]
          G
I’ve been long gone
    C                D             G
And true love always comes as a surprise
        C          D              G
Can you see your reflection in my eyes
        C         D                G     Bm  C  D
Tell me you still love me one more time

[Chorus]
          C
There was nothing on the highway
          Bm
There was nothing but the wind
      C
And I couldn’t look ahead
        Bm
I could just see where I’ve been
     Am
From Hartford down to Tampa, Duluth to Malibu
      C                                                  D
I ran every trick, I told any lie just to get on home to you

[Verse 6]
          G
I’ve been long gone
          C                 D                  G
And those nights alone were almost too much to bear
                 C            D              G
Throw your arms around me and just keep them there
        C         D                G     Bm
Tell me you still love me one more time
C            D
Oh, one more time
