Standard tuning, and played with a capo on the 3rd fret (I\'m sure that\'s how she plays 
live...)  Chords are relative to the capo...

1st Verse


Am
Look for a sign in the window
             G
An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
          Am
Tie on an apron for change in my pocket
                G
To spend at the shops and study the docket
         Am
I can be honest, I can respond
        G
Hold my own and take on what comes


Save it for later, be restrained


Make up my mind, then want to change it

Chorus
           F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
       Em
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
                 F
And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
        Em
Find my page and turn them again and again

2nd Verse


Am
Oh, I guess I got lost
            G
I must have forgotten, it\'s just been so hot
              Am
I make all my choices on coins I can toss
              G
Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots
             Am
And I can be honest, I can be strong
         G
Wait for all those letters to come
             Am
Peel off the labels, check the dates
         G
Order my days and then re-arrange them

Chorus


           F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
       Em
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
                 F
And these little thoughts they buzz like a train
         Em
Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
