THE NIGHT'S TOO LONG (Lucinda Williams)
|
|
---------------------------------------

[Actually in A; capo up 2 frets. Each chord is one measure]

|
Sylvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont
|
|
G G G D
|
|
She said "I'm moving away, I'm gonna get what I want
|
|
G G C C
|
|
I'm tired of these small town boys, they don't move fast enough
|
|
G G D G G
|
|
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough"
|
|
G G C C
|
|
So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car
|
|
G G G D
|
|
She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start
|
|
G G C C
|
|
She said, "I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose
|
|
G G D G G
|
|
Cuz when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes"
|
|
|
|
C C G G
|
|
The night's too long; it just drags on and on
|
|
D D G G
|
|
And then there's never enough that's when the sun starts coming up
|
|
C D G C
|
|
Don't let go of her hand; you just might be the right man
|
|
D C D C
|
|
She loves the night; she loves the night
|
|
D C G C
|
|
She doesn't want the night, don't want it to end
|
|
G C
|
|
Don't want it to end
|
|
|
|
Well she works in an office now, and she guesses the pay's all right
|
|
She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night
|
|
And as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd
|
|
Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud
|
|
Well, the music's playing faster and they just met
|
|
He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat
|
|
And with her back against the bar she can listen to the band
|
|
And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand
|
|
|
|
The night's too long
|
|
It just drags on and on
|
|
And then there's never enough
|
|
That's when the sun starts coming up
|
|
Don't let go of her hand
|
|
You just might be the right man
|
|
She loves the night
|
|
She loves the night
|
|
She doesn't want the night, don't want it to end
|
|
Don't want it to end
|
|
Don't want it to end
|
