G C/G G C/G
[Chorus]
G C G
Don't send me no distant salutations
C G/B Am
Or silly souvenirs from far away
D D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D C G/B D/A G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
[Verse]
G C G/B Em
Over by the wildwood where young lovers go
Am D
Sparks flashing in the night, true colors show
G C G/B Em
If I had my way I'd never get the urge to roam
Am D
But a young man serves his country and an old man guards the home
[Chorus]
G C G
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
C G/B Am
'Fore memories turn dusty old and gray
D D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D C G/B D/A G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
C G/B D/A Em
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C G/B D/A G
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
[Verse]
G C G/B Em
I could face the darkness, oh storms in the skies
Am D
But we all got certain trials burnin' up inside
G C G/B Em
You only hurt yourself you don't know what you're doing
Am D
Tryin' to make it all alone who you think you're fooling
[Chorus]
G C G
Don't hand me nothing I can't hold
C G/B Am
Or nothing that I can't give away
D D7
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
D C G/B D/A G
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
C G/B D/A Em
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C G/B D/A G
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C G/B D/A Em
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
C G/B D/A G
Mmmm mmmmm hmmmm hmm hmmmmm
