Livin` For The Night
George Strait
Capo 1st

Intro  C  Em7  C  F  Dm    C  Em7  C  F  Dm

C                        Em7
Everydays a lifetime without you
        F
Hard to get through

Since you`ve gone
     C                        Em7
So I do the only thing I know how to
       Fmaj7  G
To get by
           F       C      Em7  C  F
I`m livin` for the night

C                                   Em7
I`ve drawn all the curtains in this old house
            Dm
To keep the sun out
           F     G
And off my face
C                                       Em7
Friends stop by to check in `cause I`ve checked out
C              F     G
I tell `em I`m fine
         Em             C     G C
I`m just livin` for the night.....

   F
Daylight can`t hide the tears I cry
                                 G7
The pain that came with your goodbye
    Am            Am7            G6
The memories that keep me out of sight
F
Every night I venture out
                               G        C  G6
Into those neon arms that hold me tight........
                   F
I`m livin` for the night

  F   Am Am7 G6  F  G  G7  (OR)

      C                   Em7
I`m a whole lot easier to talk to
          F          Fmaj7
When I`ve had a few
               G
I settle down
C                                      Em7
Whiskey kills the man you`ve turned me into
    C      F       G6
And I come alive
                   C     G C
I`m livin` for the night

   F
Daylight can`t hide the tears I cried

The pain that came with your goodbye
    Am            Am7            Em    C
The memories that keep me out of sight
F
Every night I venture out
                               G7       G
Into those neon arms that hold me tight
G7  C      F       C     G7
I`m livin` for the night
                   C      G
I`m livin` for the night
C                        Em      Em7  Fmaj7
Everydays a lifetime without you
