Lyrics:

*** I think this is a really meaningful song ***

B
I stood there waiting as you drove by
A
Sad but true
B
All the years that we've been friends
A
Shame on you
C#m		         A
Now times are rough when you're not around
And I wish you well with the new life you've found
F#m
But someday, baby
A		B   E 
I'll see you on the road down    *** down where? ***

B
In times of trouble it's easy to turn and walk away
A
Life is too tough
B
Guess it's too much for you to stay

C#m		         A
I guess it's safe to say I'll be around
It'll sure be hard to stay in the same town

F#m
But someday, baby
A		B   E
I'll see you on the road down

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m 
I'll see you
F#m
Should you decide
E
He's not the one

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m 
Believe me
F#m
If you change your mind
E
I'll be here for you

(Guitar solo)

B
Promises, promises
A
Out the door
B
I guess you've lost faith
B
Well I've tried and I've tried
A
To get you to stay
B   
With no saving grace

C#m		         A
I hope that things will turn around
If you're not happy with the new love you've found

F#m
But someday, baby
A		B   E
I'll see you on the road down

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m 
I'll see you
F#m
Should you decide
E
He's not the one

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m 
Believe me
F#m
If you change your mind

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m 
I'll see you
F#m
Should you decide 
E
He's not the one

E  A   E    B
On the road down
C#m
Believe me
F#m
If you change you're mind
E
I'll be here for you

E  A   E    B
Call me
C#m
Anytime of day
F#m
It's all right

E  A   E    B
I'll be waiting by the phone if you need me
Baby, it's all right


E  A   E    B
Hey
Heyyyyyyy!!!!
