[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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
