Chords with lyrics

Intro:

C majorC G+G A minorAm FF

Verse 1:
  C majorC       G+G
The radio sings a sad little song
    A minorAm       FF
And the rain outside just sings along
C majorC     G+G      A minorAm     FF
And we all dance for the lonely
C majorC          G+G
Well over that hill, sun's waitin' for me
A minorAm         FF
Up in Johnson City, Tennessee
C majorC   G+G         A minorAm    FF
We got a show tomorrow in Nashville

Verse 2:
   C majorC          G+G
So I tried to call you on my telephone
     A minorAm            FF
But your answerin' machine told me you ain't home
C majorC     G+G       A minorAm     FF
Baby girl, when you gonna realize
     C majorC        G+G
That you can't wash away all your pain
   A minorAm         FF
With your dirty wine and cheap champagne?
C majorC     G+G      A minorAm     FF
You're just dancing for the lonely


Chorus:
    C majorC     G+G
And goddamn this city
  A minorAm      E minorEm    FF
To hell with the cold dark nights
   C majorC        G+G
And my god you look so pretty
A minorAm        C majorC
Under those city lights


Verse 3:
  C majorC       G+G
And every town and every place
    A minorAm            FF
There's a blue eyed story with a pretty face
C majorC   G+G         A minorAm     FF
Just achin' for a little attention
    C majorC       G+G
She's a hometown girl alone at the bar
  A minorAm          FF
She tried to get out but she didn't get far
C majorC     G+G        A minorAm     FF
Now she's stuck here for a lifetime

Verse 4:
    C majorC        G+G
Aw but when she puts on that dancin' dress
    A minorAm         FF
Lips are blood red and her hair's a mess
C majorC     G+G        A minorAm       FF
And she's ready to fall in love tonight
    C majorC      G+G
Aw but after a few, they all look the same
  A minorAm           FF
And I don't even think that he asked her name
C majorC     G+G           A minorAm       FF
She's just another notch on the bedpost


Chorus:
    C majorC     G+G
And goddamn this city
  A minorAm      E minorEm    FF
To hell with the cold dark nights
   C majorC        G+G
And my god you look so pretty
A minorAm        C majorC
Under those city lights


Bridge:
     C majorC          G+G
And what part of this have we not been through?
     A minorAm         FF
What good is some money if I ain't got you?
C majorC     G+G          A minorAm       FF
Just know in your heart that I miss you
    C majorC           G+G
Well I hate to cut it short, but babe I've gotta go
  A minorAm          FF
The boys are headed up to Ohio
C majorC   G+G        A minorAm      FF
How I wish it was Carolina


Chorus:
    C majorC     G+G
And goddamn this city
  A minorAm      E minorEm    FF
To hell with the cold dark nights
   C majorC        G+G
And my god you look so pretty
A minorAm        C majorC
Under those city lights
   C majorC        G+G
And my god you look so pretty
A minorAm        C majorC
Under those city lights
