(ver. 1)
John Moreland
[Intro]
Csus4  C
Csus4  C
Am7  C  Csus4  C
Am7  C  G Csus4
Csus4 Am7 G C
 
 
[Verse 1]
Csus4  C
      When we were seventeen,
Csus4  C
       We couldn't see past eighteen,
Am7  C  Csus4 C
     We had a one way ticket,
Am7  C  G      Csus4       Csus4 Am7 G C
     To our wildest dreams.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Csus4 C
      Maybe we lost the reason,
Csus4  C
        To try to do what we love,
Am7  C  Csus4        C
        Do you think we'll make it,
Am7  C  G         Csus4     Csus4 Am7 G C
        Should we just give up.
 
 
[Chorus]
Csus4         C               Csus4
Live like the night is almost over,
             C                       Csus4
Play your guitar with a chip on your shoulder,
         C                       Am7
And then tell 'em everything's alright,
              G                Csus4
We're burnin' down this town tonight.

[Verse 3]
C                       Csus4 C
Drummin' up that rhythm,
C                          Am7  C
It used to beat in our blood,
      Csus4           C         Am7  C
We're like a bunch of old timers,
G                 Csus4      C  G  C
Talkin' 'bout the great flood.
 
 
[Verse 4]
Csus4  C
       My generation,
Csus4  C
       The boys in bands,
Am7  C  Csus4      C
        Who became bartenders,
Am7  C  G   Csus4    Csus4 Am7 G C
        And sold the vans.
 
 
[Chorus]
Csus4         C               Csus4
Live like the night is almost over,
             C                       Csus4
Play your guitar with a chip on your shoulder,
         C                       Am7
And then tell 'em everything's alright,
              G                Csus4  Am7 G C
We're burnin' down this town tonight.

[Outro]
Csus4         C               Csus4
Live like the night is almost over,
             C                       Csus4
Play your guitar with a chip on your shoulder,
         C                       Am7
And then tell 'em everything's alright.
        Csus4         C               Csus4
I still live like the night is almost over,
              C                       Csus4
I write these songs with a chip on my shoulder,
      G                 Am7
And I tell myself I'm alright,
            G                Csus4
I'm burnin' down this town tonight,
            G                Csus4
I'm burnin' down this town tonight,
            G                Csus4
I'm burnin' down this town tonight.
Csus4  C  Csus4  C
Csus4  C  Csus4  C
Am7  C  G  Csus4
