                G                  Em
Caught a little sun, Feel a little lazy
        G                         D   D7
Had a little fun, Drank a little wine
               G  G7              C             Cm
Made a little love,  Got a lot of nothing on my mind
       G              D                       G    D
It's a good night to lay around here killing time

Verse 2:
                          G               Em
I made peace with the dark,  I'm over the nightmares
                  G                 D    D7
I've got a strong heart and clean desires
                G      G7            C             Cm
I'm turning out alright, It's been a sweet life so far
       G             D                          G    G7
It's a good night to kill a little time in your arms

Chorus 1:
        C     C/B    Am      D7    G
I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
G             G/F#     Em                A7    D7
And a far off sense of loss when I first wake
                    G      G7
But I'm turning out alright,
            C                Cm
Ain't it a sweet life these days
       G            D
It's a good nite to kill a little time
       C         C/B    Am    D7    G
on the fire escape

Bridge:
C                         D
I nearly let the lust destroy me
C                              D
If not for you I'd have surely drowned
Em                             Bm
But I've seen hunger most will never comprehend
                   C                              D
Plant friends and lovers one by one in the stony ground

Verse 3:
                    G                      Em
There's a gathering storm, I hear a little thunder
                G                      D    D7
I feel a little wind, I smell a little rain
                        G     G7
But I can deal with the angels
                C                  Cm
'Cause it ain't me they're here to claim
       G             D                   G            G7
It's a good nite for blowing 'em off til some other day

Chorus 2:
        C     C/B    Am      D7    G
I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
G             G/F#     Em                A7    D7
And a far off sense of loss when I first wake
                    G      G7
But I'm turning out alright,
            C                Cm
Ain't it a sweet life these days
       G                   D
If you think you can stand holding my hand
        Em        C
on the fire escape
      G                     D
I'm a good man who's done a couple of
            C           C/B  Am  D7  G
