CAPO 4 
 
INTRO:  
                  E5  
La la la la la la la 
                  C5 
La la la la la la la 
                  E5     
La la la la la la la 
                  C5   
La la la la la la la la la 
 
VERSE: 
             G5                       E5   
Couple young girls went sailing down A1A 
               C5                      D5 
To the arms of Florida sailing down a highway 
              E5                            C5   
Singing their heads off, tainted by the Holy Ghosts 
                   G5                           D5      
Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes closed 
 
CHORUS: 
    C5              D5         E5      
The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his way 
C5                D5        G5               D5   
Pretend he don't know you  the very next day   
         C5                        E5  
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely 
                 C5                D5                  E5 
How I still hang around here when there's nothing to hold me 
 
VERSE: 
               G5                              E5                  
You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on your feet 
                        C5                         D5                           
And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and thousands of days 
                 E5                              C5 
And someone you never meet signs a check you get every week 
                  G5                                   D5  
You try and still can't forget all the strangers that you have met 
 
CHORUS: 
    C5              D5       E5 
The night never owed you nothing anyway 
C5                      D5                G5          D5    
Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day 
         C5                        E5  
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely 
                 C5                D5                  E5       
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me 
 
BRIDGE: 
C5                D5                    E5  
Every time every year the travelers come and go 
                                C5 
You see them landing with their pale wings 
                       D5  
And flying back to the snow 
 
VERSE: (Same Chords) 
 
And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on 

Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A 

The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking 

Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping 

CHORUS: 
                           
And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way 

Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say 

Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely 

How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me 
         C5                        E5  
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely 
                 C5                D5                  E5       C5 
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me 
                  E5  
La la la la la la la 
                  C5         D5 
La la la la la la la la la
