[Verse 1]
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I’m walking through the summer nights
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Jukebox playing low
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Yesterday everything was going too fast
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Today, it’s moving too slow
G Bb(sus2) G Bb(sus2)
I got no place left to turn
G Bb(sus2) G A
I got nothing left to burn
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Don’t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
It probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow
G D A E
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
G D
I got nothing to go back to now
[Verse 2]
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
The light in this place is so bad
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Making me sick in the head
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
All the laughter is just making me sad
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
The stars have turned cherry red
G Bb(sus2) G Bb(sus2)
I’m strumming on my gay guitar
G Bb(sus2 G A
Smoking a cheap cigar
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Don’t look [it (?)] like it will anytime soon
G D A E
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
G D
Under the midnight moon

| D F#m/C# | Bm D/A |
[Verse 3]
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Maybe they’ll get me and maybe they won’t
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
But not tonight and it won’t be here
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
There are things I could say but I don’t
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I know the mercy of God must be near
G Bb(sus2) G Bb(sus2)
I’ve been riding the midnight train
G Bb(sus2) G A
Got ice water in my veins
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I would be crazy if I took you back
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
It would go up against every rule
G D A E
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
G D
Suffering like a fool
[Interlude]

| D F#m/C# | Bm D/A |
[Verse 4]
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
When the last rays of daylight go down
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Buddy, you’ll roll no more
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I wonder who they’re ringing for
G Bb(sus2) G Bb(sus2)
I know I can’t win
G Bb(sus2) G A
But my heart just won’t give in
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
Last night I danced with a stranger
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
But she just reminded me you were the one
G D A E
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
G D
In the dark land of the sun
[Interlude]
| D F#m/C# | Bm D/A |
| D F#m/C# | Bm D/A |
[Verse 5]
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I’ll eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
And live my life on the square
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I know someone will be there to care
G Bb(sus2) G Bb(sus2)
It always means so much
G Bb(sus2) G A
Even the softest touch
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
D F#m/C# Bm D/A
There’s no words that need to be said
G D A E
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
G D
Blues wrapped around my head
