C#              D#m7        F#                  C#
Crossed twelve thousand lines looking for your face
         F#         C#
Only to find not a trace
C#              D#m7         F#             C#
Even the memory of your mouth tries to disappear
       F#                 C#
Little lights turn into spheres
     F#                  C#
Blue mountain in the rearview

Chorus:
 G#7                F#            C#
Some nights, barely breathing at all
B6             F#        C#
Waiting for my woman to call

Cross twelve letters down, found the longest word
This morning, I'd heard
Somebody said they saw you 'round 1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo

Chorus:
Some nights, barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Maple cherry leaves start to fall
Waiting for my woman to call

Sweet honey, stirring in my tea
You're stirring me
Forgiveness, all the money in the world
Won't buy it

Chorus:
Some nights, barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
