Intro: C G Am F 

verse 1 
    C             G 
The radio sings a sad little song 
        Am             F 
And the rain outside just sings along 
C          G            Am         F 
And we all dance for the lonely 
C                    G 
Well over that hill, sun's waitin' for me 
Am                  F 
Up in Johnson City, Tennessee 
C      G                  Am        F 
We got a show tomorrow in Nashville 


verse 2 
     C                   G 
So I tried to call you on my telephone 
         Am                        F 
But your answerin' machine told me you ain't home 
C          G              Am          F 
Baby girl, when you gonna realize 
         C               G 
That you can't wash away all your pain 
     Am                  F 
With your dirty wine and cheap champagne? 
C          G            Am         F 
You're just dancing for the lonely 


       C         G 
And goddamn this city 
   Am            Em        F 
To hell with the cold dark nights 
      C               G 
And my god you look so pretty 
Am               C 
Under those city lights 


verse 3 
    C              G 
And every town and every place 
        Am                       F 
There's a blue eyed story with a pretty face 
C     G                  Am          F 
Just achin' for a little attention 
        C             G 
She's a hometown girl alone at the bar 
    Am                   F 
She tried to get out but she didn't get far 
C         G                Am          F 
Now she's stuck here for a lifetime 


verse 4 
       C                G 
Aw but when she puts on that dancin' dress 
        Am                 F 
Lips are blood red and her hair's a mess 
C         G                Am             F 
And she's ready to fall in love tonight 
       C            G 
Aw but after a few, they all look the same 
    Am                     F 
And I don't even think that he asked her name 
C          G                     Am             F 
She's just another notch on the bedpost 

 
       C         G 
And goddamn this city 
   Am            Em        F 
To hell with the cold dark nights 
      C               G 
And my god you look so pretty 
Am               C 
Under those city lights 


Bridge 
         C                    G 
And what part of this have we not been through? 
          Am                 F 
What good is some money if I ain't got you? 
C          G                   Am             F 
Just know in your heart that I miss you 
       C                     G 
Well I hate to cut it short, but babe I've gotta go 
    Am                    F 
The boys are headed up to Ohio 
C     G               Am           F 
How I wish it was Carolina 


        C         G 
And goddamn this city 
   Am            Em        F 
To hell with the cold dark nights 
      C               G 
And my god you look so pretty 
Am               C 
Under those city lights 
      C               G 
And my god you look so pretty 
Am               C 
Under those city lights
