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

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

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

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