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

      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

I`m livin` for the night
