F C Am G F


[VERSE 1]
F                     C
I'm no good at making small talk
    Am             G     F
But do you mind if I sit down
F                   C
In the end it was a long shot
    Am           G      F
And I could use another round
F                      C
I don't mean to be too bold
Am             G        F
No it's not at all like me
F                           C
But when you're making your way home
Am                  G    F
Would you like some company


[CHORUS]
       G               Am             F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
    G            Am          F
And oh I've such long way to go
    C   G Am      G  C          F
And you remind me of somebody I know
C     G               C
Can I stay with you a while


[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 2]
F                        C
Whiskey eyelids weigh me down some
         Am                      G    F
When our smoke filled talk comes to a close
F                               C
And it's these moments where my mind runs
         Am           G    F
From the emptiness of open roads


[CHORUS]
       G               Am             F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
    G            Am          F
And oh I've such long way to go
    C   G Am      G  C          F
And you remind me of somebody I know
C     G               C  Em
Can I stay with you a while


[BRIDGE]
       Em             F
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
C                   G   F
So don't ask me for much
Em                     F
I'm no good at keeping promises
  Dm               F      G
I promise this is enough


[CHORUS]
       G               Am             F
'Cause oh I'm tired of sleeping on my own
    G              Am             F G
And oh it'S such a goddamn lonely road
        Am         F
And I'm sleeping alone
    C   G Am      G  C          F
But you remind me of somebody I know
C     G               Am F
Can I stay with you a while
 C     G     Am      G  C                F
'Cause you remind me of someplace I call home
C     G               C
Can I stay with you a while
