Intro:
Em C


Verse 1:
G                       Em      C
Any given night you can see headlights
        G                        Em          C
Keeping last call alive when the bars closed down
G                     Em         C
Can’t stay here so we take it outside
        G                 Em          C
Trading neon sign for the moon coming out
G               Em              G
In the parking lot, on the stereo
                    Em          C
Somebody’s cranking up a little country gold
G                    Em              G
Pouring something strong in a double cup
                   Em C
Till the sun comes up

Chorus:
        G        Em             C         G
There’s always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Em               C           G                       Em     C
Talkin’ bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
     G                         Em     C
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
    G                         Em         C
Somebody's throwing fire on a round-here rumor
G                    Em       C
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
G                   Em                      G
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
           Em           C           G    Em C G  Em
Small town nights doing life behind bars


Verse 2:
G                   Em           C       G
Any old hole in the wall’s got a dive outside
              Em
Anywhere this side of the track
G                  Em             C
Cover to get in is bring all your friends
        G                        Em             C   G
There’s help yourself beers, but bring your own Jack
         Em
It’s a story in the morning
G                       Em
Right outside when they shut them doors


Chorus:
        G        Em             C         G
There’s always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Em               C           G                       Em     C
Talkin’ bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
     G                         Em     C
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
    G                         Em         C
Somebody's throwing fire on a round-here rumor
G                    Em       C
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
G                   Em                      G
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
           Em                       G    Em
Small town nights doing life behind bars
           Em                       G
Small town nights doing life behind bars


Bridge:
                Em
In the parking lot, on the stereo
G
Somebody’s cranking up a little country gold
                     Em
Pouring something strong in a double cup
G
Yeah, where I was raised up


Chorus:
        G        Em             C         G
There’s always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Em               C           G                       Em     C
Talkin’ bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
     G           N.C.
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
    G                         Em         C
Somebody's throwing fire on a round-here rumor
G                    Em       C
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
G                   Em                      G
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
           Em                       G    Em  G
Small town nights doing life behind bars
           Em                   G        Em  G
Small town nights doing life behind bars
           Em                       N.C.
Small town nights doing life behind bars
