[A]We laid down outside Memphis
Drawing patterns on the [D]moon
[E]Our sleeping bags were all we had
To keep away the [A]dew

I could not help but wonder
[A7]If I could hold you [D]tight
Since that [E]evening chill

I long to hold you still
Haven't seen you since that [A]night
But I close my [D]eyes
And I feel [A]fine
Cause dreams come [E]true by and [A]by[A7]
I love you [D]only
But I'm never [A]lonely
Cause you're always [E]there
When I close my [A]eyes

For a time my life was easy
Cause I always seemed to [D]know
One day you'd [E]think of me

And finally see
How much I loved you [A]so

But one cool October evening
[A7]Outside the rendez[D]vous
[E]Through the fog and mist

I saw two lovers kiss
One looked an awful lot like [A]you
But I close my [D]eyes
And I feel [A]fine
Cause dreams come [E]true by and [A]by[A7]
I love you [D]only
But I'm never [A]lonely
Cause you're always [E]there
When I close my [A]eyes

SOLO

[A]As the rain hits my windshield
It get louder every [D]timee
[E]I cannot see

Ahead of me
As clear as I see be[A]hind
[A]I'm racing out of Memphis
[A7]Hard and fast and [D]blind
[E]I Remember when

I was your only friend
Now I'm the last thing on your [A]mind
But I close my [D]eyes
And I feel [A]fine
Cause dreams come [E]true by and [A]by[A7]
I love you [D]only
But I'm never [A]lonely
Cause you're always [E]there
When I close my [A]eyes
