  • Artist:

    The Gaslight Anthem

First verse:
             Am
Step right up
                   F
Get yourself wrecked
                    C  
Come on whisper my name
         G            F      Am
I mean, since it's so late


Second verse:
                  F
A thousand miles away
                           C
I'll be creeping down your spine
     G          Am
And making you wait
           F     G
Wait, and wait


Chorus:
                Am
And I hope you find
    F             C
A handsome young man
          G          Am
Who can love you like I,
       F           C
Baby just like I can
          G             Am
Who will take you out dancing
           F         C
While you waited me out
G            C          G            C      F   G
Making good use of the blues you've found


Third verse:
               Am
Go on, light it up
                F
Let your hair down
                     C
You deserve the wee hours
          G         F      G
And the shivers downtown


Fourth verse:
               Am
Cus I'm waking up
                     F
And you're stumbling home
                    C
What, you think I'd forget?
    G                  Am    G        F         G
I remember each and every lonesome night alone


Chorus:
                Am
And I hope you find
    F             C
A handsome young man
          G          Am
Who can love you like I,
     F            C
Baby just like I can
          G            Am
Who will take you out dancing
            F        C
While you waited me out
G            C           G           Am     F   G
Making good use of the blues you've found
                  C
Making misery so proud

Bridge:
          Am           G
And if I saw this much blood
          F             C
If it was all on your hands
         Am          G             F            C
If the pills in my system came to call you up again
           C          G             F
Would you buy me a drink, to calm down
           C        G            F
Would you buy me a drink right now?


Chorus:
                Am          
And I hope you find
    F            C
A handsome young man
         G           Am
Who can love you like I,
       F          C
Baby just like I can
         G             Am
Who will take you out dancing
           F        C
While you waited me out
G           Am           F             C      G
Making good use of the blues you've found


Final chorus:
               Am
And I hope you find 
   F             C
a handsome young man
          G          Am          F          C
Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can
         G             Am                  F        C
Who will take you out dancing, while you waited me out
G            C          G         Am                
Making good use of the blues you found
F             C          G         Am       
Making good use of the blues you found
F             C          G          Am   F   G 
Making good use of the blues in you now
                  C     G    Am
Making misery so proud
         F         C   G     Am
Making misery so proud
          F        C   G      Am
Making misery so proud
           F         C   G    C
While you waited me out
