live...)  Chords are relative to the capo...

1st Verse


AmLook (x02210@1)for a sign in the window
             GAn (320003@1)ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
          AmTie (x02210@1)on an apron for change in my pocket
                GTo (320003@1)spend at the shops and study the docket
         AmI (x02210@1)can be honest, I can respond
        GHold (320003@1)my own and take on what comes


Save it for later, be restrained


Make up my mind, then want to change it

Chorus
           FNights (133211@1)are long, they creep up upon us
       EmLike (022000@1)a storm, when nothing's in order
                 FAnd (133211@1)these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
        EmFind (022000@1)my page and turn them again and again

2nd Verse


AmOh, (x02210@1)I guess I got lost
            GI (320003@1)must have forgotten, it's just been so hot
              AmI (x02210@1)make all my choices on coins I can toss
              GCoins (320003@1)for the washing, to slide in the slots
             AmAnd (x02210@1)I can be honest, I can be strong
         GWait (320003@1)for all those letters to come
             AmPeel (x02210@1)off the labels, check the dates
         GOrder (320003@1)my days and then re-arrange them

Chorus


           FNights (133211@1)are long, they creep up upon us
       EmLike (022000@1)a storm, when nothing's in order
                 FAnd (133211@1)these little thoughts they buzz like a train
         EmLock (022000@1)the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
