Em               C         G            D 
Tonight I am lonesome for you 
Em                      C                          G        D 
It hurts even worse to know you feel the same way too 
Em                    C                      G              D 
Out there all along, in a place where I belong 
Em                   C         G          D 
Oh, tonight I am lonesome for you 


It hurts to know you are so far away 
The nights are getting longer and they’re swallowing up the days 
The highways in between - hum to the sound of your heartbeat 
Oh, It hurts to know you are so far away 

Am                   G                          C           D 
& I would trade every last light in New York City 

Am                 G                     C                  D 
To be there tonight with you in New Orleans 

Am                           G                                  C             D 
Floating like ghosts through the town, Spanish moss tumblin’ round 

Am                  G                                                            C         D 
Oh I’d trade all the light, trade all the lights, trade all the lights~ ~ - for you 

I wish it wasn’t all just in my mind 
We’d take a train to the quarter and we’d paint it red, do it all on my dime 
The moon makes the darkness wait, a crescent kiss in the creole state 

& I would trade every last light in New York City 
To be there tonight with you in New Orleans 
Floating like ghosts through the town, Spanish moss tumblin’ round 
Oh I’d trade all the light, trade all the lights, trade all the lights~ ~ - for you
