Well  he got
G                          Am
Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up
       C           G   Gsus  -  G
On the Indian Casino Queen   Cus he?d loved her from the time she?d been the
  Am                C                              D
waitress at the Mexican place where he?d left his keys


             Am                   G
She?d been there smile?n at the lost and found
        C        /b     Am        Bm     ( Bm        Bbm   Am )
Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin? at the fairgrounds
              Am                G Gsus G
Holdin? hands singin ?Joy to the World?


        G   D   C
She was way too young
       G   D   Em       
But he did not care


A                              C
  He was alright with cashin? in
A                        C                  C(fade)
  A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in


[Riff]


G - Gsus - G (fade)


Well he
G                               Am
died a little bit each time the night came in
      C                    G       Gsus     G
And the stars fell over Michigan       Cus he?d loved her at the ball when he saw her
Am                     C                        D
dancing to ?I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man?


               Am             G
Then he?d come over to his usual spot
               C      Em     Bm     ( Bm     Bbm   Am )
Soon they were makin? out at three AM in the empty parking lot
       Am                      G Gsus  G
They lay together under the burnt out stars


        G     D     C
She never loved him back
        G  D   Em      
It wasn?t even close

A                            C
  But he was fine with just pretend
A                          C
  that it was never gonna end
A                            C
  and it was worth it just to know
A                              C
  A little warmth before the snow
