The Nights Too Long by Lucinda Williams
The Nights Too Long
Capo 2nd Fret (originally in A)
G
Sylvia was working
C
As a waitress in Beaumont
G
She said I'm moving away
D
I'm gonna get what I want
G
I'm tired of these small town boys
C
they don't move fast enough
G
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket
D G
And likes his living rough.
G
So she saved her tips and overtime
C
And bought an old rusty car.
G
She sold most everything she had
D
To make a brand new start.
G
She said I won't be needing these
C
Silly dresses and nylon hose
G
'Cause when I get to where I'm goin'
D G
I'm gonna buy me all new clothes.
Chorus
G7 C
The night's too long
G
It just drags on and on
D
And then there's never enough
G
That's when the sun starts coming up
G7 C
Don't let go of her hand
G C
You just might be the right man
D C D C
She loves the night, she loves the night
G
Doesn't want it to end.
G
Well she works in an office now
C G
And she guesses the pay's allright
G
She can buy a few new things to wear
D
And still go out at night
G
And as soon as she gets home from work
C
She wants to be out with the crowd
G
Where she can dance and toss her head back
D G
And lough out loud.
G
Now the music's playing fast
C
And they just met
G
He presses up against her
D
And his shirt's all soaked with sweat
G
And with her back against the bar
C
She can listen to the band
G
And she's holding a Corona
D G
And it's cold against her hand.
Chorus
G7 C
The night's too long
G
It just drags on and on
D
And then there's never enough
G
That's when the sun starts coming up
G7 C
Don't let go of her hand
G C
You just might be the right man
D C D C
She loves the night, she loves the night
G
Doesn't want it to end.
