        G5                                                    A5 
As past times go I guess I've seen some good 
D5                                                         G5          
It's not always the best ones come and stay 
C5                                              G5 
There's a crowd that thinks there is one 
             A5 
And it should 
                     F5                          G5                   C5 
Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way 
 
Chorus: 
                D5 
And they call it winding down 
        G5                         F5 
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars 
C5                                 F5 
Notes on napkins and business cards 
C5                             G5                     C5 
Describe the days events and go on home 
              D5 
And it's likely they won't drown 
          G5                      F5   
The price goes up and one more round 
          C5                     F5 
They close up all the bars downtown 
            C5                       G5                    C5  
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song 
G5                                                            A5           
It seems like the same ole motions every night 
                   D5                                             G5 
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back 
             C5                       G5                   A5       
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight 
                F5                   G5                           C5 
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track 
 
repeat chorus: 
D5                                 G5 
Honky tonk heroes are turn the page  
              F5                         C5 
And the books are closed tonight 
                             G5                      F5 
Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up 
               G5                        C5 
So they'll go home feeling right 
                F5                             G5 
You gotta leave'em up so they'll go home 
              C5 
Feeling right
