g                     em
it gets loneliest at night
                     d
down at the liquor store
             c
beneath the neon sky

our moonlight
g                                    em
six a.m. the floor comes alive with lice
                       d
the pans dried up so tight
                c
with hardened beans
          g         / f#
were hungry
       em             d
so i lean on you sometimes
         c
just to see youre still there
g                                   em
youre feet cant take the weight of one
           d
much less two
        c
we hit concrete
em            g             c
how were we born into this mess
em         g                     a                 c
i know i painted you a prettier picture,baby
em           g            c
but we were run out on a rail
em              g           a     c
fell from the wagon to the night train

(play Intro/Chorus thru these)

i kissed the bottle
i should 've been kissing you
you wake up to an empty night
with tears for two

g                         em
cigarettes they fill the gaps
              d
in our empty days
                c
in our broken teeth
g                            em
say mister, can you spare a dime
                           d
some change could make a change
                c
could buy some time
                   g  f#
some freedom
       em              d
or an ear to hear my story
                 c
it's all i've got
            g                         em
my fiction beats the hell out of my truth
                       d
a palm upturned burnt blue
             c
dont call it sunburn
em            g             c
you've been shaking on the job
g          a         em            c
just one drink ahead of your past
 em           g              c
there's a white light coming up
g             a             em          c
you draw the blinds hoping it'll pass
