DO LAm FA DO
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.
DO FA SOL
Quarters piled high upon the table.
DO LAm FA DO
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.
DO LAm SOL
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
DO LAm FA DO
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story
LAm FA SOL
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
DO LAm FA DO
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.
DO LAm SOL
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
LAm FA
And where are you tonight?
LAm FA
When I left you in my dreams last night,
DO SOL FA
You promised me that we would be breaking free.
FA SOL LAm
Where are you tonight?
DO LAm FA DO
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.
DO LAm SOL
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.
DO LAm FA DO
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.
DO LAm SOL
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.
DO LAm
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror
FA DO
with his arm around my shoulder,
DO LAm SOL
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
DO LAm FA DO
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,
DO LAm SOL
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
LAm FA
And where are you tonight?
LAm FA
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,
C G Am (hold)
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.
MIm FA
And where are you tonight?
MIm FA
I think I can make it through all right,
F Em Am (hold)
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
