I?m walking through the summer nights

Jukebox playing low

Yesterday everything was going too fast

Today, it?s moving too slow
FBb(sus2) Bb(sus2)
I got no place left to turn
FBb(sus2) G
I got nothing left to burn
CEm/BAmC/G
Don?t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
CEm/BAmC/G
It probably wouldn?t matter to you anyhow
FCGD
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
FC
I got nothing to go back to now
CEm/BAmC/G
The light in this place is so bad
CEm/BAmC/G
Making me sick in the head
CEm/BAmC/G
All the laughter is just making me sad
CEm/BAmC/G
The stars have turned cherry red
FBb(sus2) FBb(sus2)
I?m strumming on my gay guitar

Maybe they?ll get me and maybe they won?t
CEm/BAmC/G
But not tonight and it won?t be here
CEm/BAmC/G
There are things I could say but I don?t
CEm/BAmC/G
I know the mercy of God must be near
FBb(sus2) FBb(sus2)
I?ve been riding the midnight train
FBb(sus2)G
Got ice water in my veins
CEm/BAmC/G
I would be crazy if I took you back

It would go up against every rule

I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
CEm/BAmC/G
I wonder who they?re ringing for
FBb(Bb(sus2)
I know I can?t win
FBb(sus2) FG
But my heart just won?t give in
CEm/BAmC/G
Last night I danced with a stranger

But she just reminded me you were the one

I?ll eat when I?m hungry, drink when I?m dry
CEm/BAmC/G
And live my life on the square
CEm/BAmC/G
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
CEm/BAmC/G
I know someone will be there to care
FBb(sus2) Bb(sus2)
It always means so much
FBb(sus2) G
Even the softest touch
CEm/BAmC/G
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation

There?s no words that need to be said
