Verse 1
There's (D major) a light out on the freeway
Says it's time (A major) (F sharp major) to go (F sharp minor)
(G major) I'm wasting my time (E minor) counting
(G major) Stain (A major) s on a barroom floor (F sharp minor) (A major)
Think (D major) ing 'bout my hometown
And the friend (G major) s I'll leave
behind (D major) (F sharp minor) (F sharp major)
Mostly 'bout the man who writes
(F sharp minor) His (G major) songs with smiling (E minor) rhymes (G major)
(A major) And I'm holding on to a smokey view (F sharp minor)
Of his dream (A major) s in the midnight light
(D major)
Verse 2
Michael counts his songs
In the years (F sharp major) of wasted miles (F sharp minor)
(G major) I used to think he was really (E minor) part
Of (A major) that fantasy in rhyme (F sharp minor) (A major)
(D major) But looking back on all his tunes
Of butterflies (G major) and sunshine (D major) (F sharp major)
There was only one about (F sharp minor) the
Man (G major) he (E minor) kept inside (G major)
About (A major) the time he crossed the line (F sharp minor)
And let a tear (A major) come to his eye
(D major)

Verse 3
(E major)
I used (A major) to (G major) hide out
In his pretty smile (D major) (A major)
And hope it would shine (G major) me
Through the morrow (D major) (F sharp major)
Until I learned the way
(F sharp minor) It feels (G major) to be the man (E minor)
(A major) Who sings the world a smile (F sharp minor)
Without a soul (A major) to share his sorrow
Interlude 1

Verse 4
The light here at the freeway (D major)
Well, it's turn (F sharp major) ing green to gold
(G major) The stains on that barroom floor
Ten miles (A major) back down
the road (F sharp minor) (A major)
(D major) Thinking 'bout how that old bar
Brought (G major) Michael back to mind (D major) (F sharp major)
And how I can sing his blues
(D major) And be (G major) smiling here inside
I guess a weary (A major) soul will al (F sharp minor) ways (A major)
Verse 5
I (D major) (E major) used to (G major) hide out
In his pretty smile (D major)
And (A major) hope it would shine (G major) me
Through the (D major) morrow (F sharp major)
Until I learned the way
It feels (G major) to be the man
(A major) Who sings the world a smile (F sharp minor)
Without a soul (A major) to share his sor
(D major) row
