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

Don’t look [it (?)] like it will anytime soon

You left me standing in the doorway, crying

Under the midnight moon

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

Suffering like a fool

[Verse 4]
G Bm/F# Em G/D
When the last rays of daylight go down
G Bm/F# Em G/D
Buddy, you’ll roll no more
G Bm/F# Em G/D
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
G Bm/F# Em G/D
I wonder who they’re ringing for
C Bb(sus2) C Bb(sus2)
I know I can’t win
C Bb(sus2) C D
But my heart just won’t give in
G Bm/F# Em G/D
Last night I danced with a stranger
G Bm/F# Em G/D
But she just reminded me you were the one
C G D A
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
C G
In the dark land of the sun

[Verse 5]
G Bm/F# Em G/D
I’ll eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry
G Bm/F# Em G/D
And live my life on the square
G Bm/F# Em G/D
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
G Bm/F# Em G/D
I know someone will be there to care
C Bb(sus2) C Bb(sus2)
It always means so much
C Bb(sus2) C D
Even the softest touch
G Bm/F# Em G/D
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
G Bm/F# Em G/D
There’s no words that need to be said
C G D A
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
C G
Blues wrapped around my head
