Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  the blink of an eye
 Stars'll fall from the sky
 No one even notices
If  you think it'll help
 I can walk out myself
 And we won't have to go  through this
 If I pretend  to hold you tight
 And out on the highway  late some night
 That's all  right
If  that's all that it takes
 Even if my heart breaks
 Darlin' I can't wait
I  have nothin' but time
 And this poor heart of mine
 Probably could use some rest
When  the ghosts are all gone
 You can leave your light  on
 Shinin' through the loneliness
 Just like a beacon  in the night
 Brighter than any  star in sight
 But that's all right
For  as long as it takes
 For that mornin' to  break
 Darlin' I can't wait
 Out where the mountains  meet the sky
 Feelin' so lonesome  I could cry
 But that's all right
'Cause  all the signs say
 You'll call me someday
 Darlin' I can't wait
