Intro: G—C—G—C

Well its cold outside as the hills roll by

Radio turned on

He’s been driving all night just waiting for the dawm

But he keeps moving on

Singing like there’s no tomorrow

And nothing’s wrong

The road take away his sorrow

But his hearts on fire

Chorus:
Well chances come and chances go

Circumstances out of contol

And in time the reasons find their meaning

When eyes meat and they dont know why

Time stands still and it will change your life

It’s a gift that we both know

It wont last forever (repeat intro)

(same progression as first verse)

Well love is the one thing on her mind
As she turns the jukebox on
Tom petty is blaring out her favorite song
But she just keeps moving on
Working harder than she has to
She must be strong
Cause her life is filled with have to’s
But her heart is on fire

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:

Well sometimes life is bad and we dont know why

But you cant explain or hide the feeling inside

(repeat chorus)

(same progression as other versus)

Well fate it seems to walk on in
Sits down by the bar
He couldnt help but notice the pretty girl staring from afar
And their eyes mee, and nothing need to be said
Their hearts skip a beat, things running in their heads
But their hearts are on fire…

(repeat chorus)

(repeat intro)

Tune down 1/2 step

Intro: (pick chords) - D---A---Bm---A---G 2x

Annie is waiting in the window

and pulls her long blond hair back from her eyes

she’s waiting for tomorrow

hoping to catch a glimpse of bluer skies

Bm---A---G

but I…

cannot wait for you to come my way now baby

(repeat chords of verse)
Annie’s dancing in the moonlight
with the rays reflecting off her skin
she’s crying on the steps of her apartment
refusing to come back in
but I…
cannot wait for you to come my way now baby

CHORUS

and hey there’s

Annie in the moonlight

Sparkling as she moves across the floor

I’m hoping that she’ll look my way

Bm---A---G

before..

Bm---A---G

before she heads out

before she heads out

towards the door

LEAD: repeat chords of the chorus

REPEAT CHORUS

(same chords as chorus)
won’t you look at me and smile
won’t you sit with me for a while
won’t you tell me that you’re never going to leave
won’t you get into my car
and you can drive away
drive away with me
so very, very far

Running round in circles, I’ve been chasing my tail
Through a web of misconceptions and as far as I can tell
There’ll be no easy answers and be no open doors
I can see the road in front of me can’t see nothing anymore

Chorus:
And if you feel the echo of my heartbeat down the hall
I’ll be there in the darkness and I’ll catch you when you fall for so long
I waited for this now now it all seems so wrong for so long

Repeat Intro

You’ll be lookin’ for excuses I’ll be lookin’ for the door
Both lookin’ for the other but I don’t feel that way anymore
So we’ll angle for an option stepping on each others toes
Put an end to this insanity just the way things gotta go

Repeat Chorus

Now there’s nothing left between us
Now that all’s been said and done
There ain’t no room for excuses and it’s clear nobody’s won
Only silence grips the darkness and chill runs through my bones
And the bitter words we said don’t make this house feel like home

Repeat Chorus

Standing on the front porch and I’m waiting on the sun

It’s been a long night and finally I’m done

How scary time crawls when it’s spent with no one

Why do I have to be here with you to have fun?

To have fun, to have fun

G—Am—G—Am

(repeat chords as in verse #1)

The fixture on the wall has not worked for a year
I’m glad there’s no light to show my fear
The girl I met last night yeah she seemed so sincere
When she nibbled and she wished her name in my ear

CHORUS
Is it real on and on and over again)?

Is it real it’s so good to see you again my friend?

I believe I believe, I believe…that it’s real.

Won’t you tell why you came, won’t you tell me how you feel
And do you think the same, is it wrong or is it real

REPEAT CHORUS

repeat ntro

Me and Smitty in some beat up jeans
two crazy ass kids like no one’s ever seen
we were ridin’ bikes to the stop and go
for a can of snuff and some dirty magazines, well we

grew up fast in a none light town
where it seems like the world is a few miles round
we were buying beer at 17
with four bald tires and a fake ID

(chorus)

and i said hey there brother do you know how the story goes
how’d we get so far so fast man it seems like no one knows
hey there brother heaven knows how long it’s been
nothing’s changed round this old town you were always my best friend

well i remember one night they through Smitty in jail
used my dad’s credit card to pay his bail
yeah, dad was cool never siad a thing
Smitty gave me 60 bucks and a pint of Jim Beam
well the very next night we were riding around
drivin like hell through this one light town
yeah the Jim Beam didn’t last as long
but the way things were man we couldn’t go wrong

Tune guitar down 1/2 step

It was one last kissed stopped short of a cold good-bye

This wasn’t unheard of surprise

Hoped in my truck, said good-bye and wished you luck

And then remembered all of our good times.

Well I was headed right down 81 when the DJ played our old song

Doing that shit ought to be a crime

CHORUS

But tonight there’s only one shade of blue

Deepest, darkest, and loneliest you

Should have know what this was leading to

But tonight there’s only one shade of blue.

REPEAT INTRO

I was headed toward the light trying to make a wrong seem right

Looks like I’m headed there again

Well the devil was in her eyes and maybe there’s a second prize

Loneliness is my old friend

Well the DJ played the same old song, the highway miles moved along

Looks like I’m headed straight down to hell again.

REPEAT CHOURS

Solo: play chords of the verse

REPEAT INTRO

Well the song’s almost through, baby just like me and you

Maybe I’ll be home for a second try

And I’ll keep on pushing through the dawn, and I’ll find myself just one more song

Don’t worry honey, I ain’t ever coming back.

Tune 1/2 step down

Capo: 2nd

Intro: D-A-Bm-G—D-A—Bm-G

Realizations are telling me what

what I can not have

when I lay my head down and close my eyes

I see someone from inside

It’s so much happier here

It’s so much brighter here

Why can’t I stay on the inside (inside) and hide

CHORUS

I can feel the changes in my head

Visual memories are all but dead

Got to find a way to resolve

All the thought that you will call

SOLO: play chords of verse

Verse #2 (play same chords as verse 1)
Despite the restrictions this is where I hide
My place to be free inside
My place to hold, my place to kiss
Why is consciousness not like this

It’s so much happier here
It’s so much brighter here
Why can’t I stay on the inside and hide

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse #3 (play same chords as verse 1)
Frustrations are telling me I can’t go
There’s to many calendars torn down
It’s time to fight, time to confide
Time to bring someone for the inside

It’s so much happier here
It’s so much brighter here
Why can’t I stay on the inside and hide

REPEAT CHORUS

[G-Cadd9-Em-D]

Staring to a setting sun just trying to remember some

Secret place I used to run to get away from everyone

These feelings come and go sometimes

But its nothing like I had in mind

Standing on a shaky line I’m like a blind man leading the blind

CHORUS

So if I fall on the ground (on the ground) I’ll take a good look around

And disappear without a sound like a moon up in the sky

Put myself back in time (time) wipe the dust from my eyes

And hold a photograph up to the light

Like a lost soul-waving goodbye

[G-Cadd9-Em-D]

Someone told me long ago moving fast means walking slow

Like drivin’ down an old dirt road

with time to kill and nowhere to go

Round and round and round we go this carousel it never slows

Where it ends baby I don’t know up a head’s a bend in the road

Hey there’s Julie at the bar

Working on another late night drink

She trying to cover all her scars

Hey there’s Julie, Julie at the bar

There’s a young man sitting next to her

Stealing glances from an old worn out mirror

And I hope one day that she will see

That that young man, staring at her is me

Chorus

Theif of reflections, baby

Dont want any misconceptions

Three dimensional theif of life

Cant you see, cant you see

The theiver is me

Julie, wont you, wont you see

And hey ther Julie, what brings you here

Night after night, not enough light to fill a smokey room

And are you willing to put up a fight

For a man, that man that makes you feel

Alright now Julie

Repeat Chorus

Solo: play chords of the chorus

Hey there’s Julie at the bar

Working on the last call, the last drink of the night

Still trying to cover all her scars

Hey there’s Julie, Julie at the bar

Repeat chorus

Repeat Intro

Three years later when you finally said yes
Went out with your mama for a weddin’ dress
You made me the happiest guy in town

You said you would and I said I do
The preacher said the service is through
Lets tap the keg cus’ the first one’s always foam

Raise the dixie cups and all say cheers
Danced a little and drink some beers
The ring was on her finger and we went home

I always thought I was a regular guy
If my head turned a little when a girl walks by
It don’t mean I wanna take her home

So why’d ya through that ring at me
Why am I gettin’ the third degree
Why you got your lawyer on the phone

Baby you know it’s been a long night
I’d rather be lovin’ then standin’ here fightin’
I’m yours, no matter where my eyes may roll

So pay the bartender let’s finish these beers
Take that napkin, drown those tears
Put the ring back on your finger and lets go home

Baby I know I ain’t no saint
Maybe I need a new coat of paint
I cuss, I spit and I always think I’m right

Baby I never wanted anything more
To have my dinner on the table when I walked in the door
And crazy lovin’ when the lights go down at night

Baby I’ve always been good to you
Never strayed to far I’ve always been true
I’m a good ol’ dog, loyal to the bone

Just pay the bartender Let’s finish these beers
We ain’t givin’ up after all these years
Put the ring back on your finger and let’s go home
Put the ring back on your finger and let’s go home
