INTRO
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I’m walking through the summer nights
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Jukebox playing low
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Yesterday everything was going too fast
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Today, it’s moving too slow
FF Bb(sus2) FF Bb(sus2)
I got no place left to turn
FF Bb(sus2) FF G+G
I got nothing left to burn
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Don’t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
It probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FF C majorC
I got nothing to go back to now
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
The light in this place is so bad
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Making me sick in the head
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
All the laughter is just making me sad
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
The stars have turned cherry red
FF Bb(sus2) FF Bb(sus2)
I’m strumming on my gay guitar
FF Bb(sus2 FF G+G
Smoking a cheap cigar
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Don’t look [it (?)] like it will anytime soon
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FF C majorC
Under the midnight moon
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Maybe they’ll get me and maybe they won’t
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
But not tonight and it won’t be here
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
There are things I could say but I don’t
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I know the mercy of God must be near
FF Bb(sus2) FF Bb(sus2)
I’ve been riding the midnight train
FF Bb(sus2) FF G+G
Got ice water in my veins
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I would be crazy if I took you back
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
It would go up against every rule
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FF C majorC
Suffering like a fool
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
When the last rays of daylight go down
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Buddy, you’ll roll no more
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I wonder who they’re ringing for
FF Bb(sus2) FF Bb(sus2)
I know I can’t win
FF Bb(sus2) FF G+G
But my heart just won’t give in
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
Last night I danced with a stranger
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
But she just reminded me you were the one
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FF C majorC
In the dark land of the sun
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I’ll eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
And live my life on the square
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I know someone will be there to care
FF Bb(sus2) FF Bb(sus2)
It always means so much
FF Bb(sus2) FF G+G
Even the softest touch
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G
There’s no words that need to be said
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FF C majorC
Blues wrapped around my head
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
| C majorC Em/B | A minorAm C/GC/G |
