Lovers Lane


[Intro]
G+G G+G G MajorG G+G

[Verse]
G+G
She used to be a dancer,
G+G
He used to be the man
E minorEm        C majorC
But now they seem to settle
         G+G
For anything they can
G+G
And their children all have scattered
G+G
Far across the fruited plain
E minorEm      C majorC
Left behind a silence
             G+G
That they just can't put away...
G+G
So she gave herself to Jesus
G+G
And that lasted 'bout a year
E minorEm             C majorC
While he thought about that waitress
          G+G
And cracked another beer...
G+G
And all that quiet resignation
G+G
Seemed like all they had to share
E minorEm             C majorC
They keep moving' round each other
           G+G
Like they ain't even there...

[Chorus]
D MajorD        C majorC
What about that moonlight
G+G
What about that kiss
D MajorD            C majorC
How did all those velvet nights
G+G
End up here like this
D MajorD                C majorC
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
E minorEm                  C majorC
Ya know they might go through it all again
G+G
All for one more night
D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Back on Lovers Lane...

[Verse]
G+G
He tried to be a good provider
G+G
He was a diehard union man
E minorEm                C majorC
But then the union told the rank and file
G+G
Boys, we've done all that we can
G+G
And so she watched him slowly vanish
G+G
Just like a shadow going down
E minorEm               C majorC
You break the spirit of a working man
       G+G
Might as well, might as well put him in the ground...

[Chorus]
D MajorD             C majorC
What about that moonlight, tell me
G+G
What about that kiss
D MajorD         C majorC
How did all those velvet nights
G+G
End up here like this
D MajorD                 C majorC
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
E minorEm               C majorC
Ya know they might go through it all again
G+G
All for one more night
D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
Back on Lovers Lane...

G+G

[Verse]
G+G
And when you take too much for granted
G+G
Pretty soon you find it gone
E minorEm         C majorC
Like where did all the years go
         G+G
And what the hell went on
G+G
And there's a hole deep in the country
G+G
And we're all listed day to day
E minorEm        C majorC
Used to fill that hole with dreams now
G+G
Seems it all just slipped away...

[Chorus]
D MajorD           C majorC
What about that moonlight, tell me
G+G
What about that kiss
D MajorD            C majorC
How did all those velvet nights
G+G
End up here like this
D MajorD                 C majorC
And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em
E minorEm                C majorC
Ya know they might go through it all again
G+G
All for one more night

[Outro]
