GAm
Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up
CGGsus - G
On the Indian Casino Queen Cus he’d loved her from the time she’d been the
AmCD
waitress at the Mexican place where he’d left his keys
AmG
She’d been there smile’n at the lost and found
C /BAmBm (BmA#mAm)
Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin’ at the fairgrounds
AmGGsusG
Holdin’ hands singin “Joy to the World”
GDC
She was way too young
GDEm
But he did not care
AC
He was alright with cashin’ in
AC C(fade)
A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in
[Riff]
G-Gsus-G (fade)
Well he
GAm
died a little bit each time the night came in
CGGsusG
And the stars fell over Michigan Cus he’d loved her at the ball when he saw her
AmCD
dancing to “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man”
AmG
Then he’d come over to his usual spot
CEmBm (BmA#mAm)
Soon they were makin’ out at three AM in the empty parking lot
AmGGsusG
They lay together under the burnt out stars
GDC
She never loved him back
GDEm
It wasn’t even close
AC
But he was fine with just pretend
AC
that it was never gonna end
AC
and it was worth it just to know
ACA little warmth before the snow
