[C#m] [E]
[C#m] [E]
I'm walking through [C#m] the summer [E] nights, the [D#m] jukebox playing [C#m] along.
[E]
Yesterday [B] everything was [E] going too fast, today [D#m] it's [C#m] moving too slow.
[E] [A] I got no place left to turn, I got nothing left to burn.
[E] Don't know if I [G#m] saw you, [C#m] if I would kiss you or kill [E] you,
it probably wouldn't matter to you [C#m] anyhow.
[E] [A] You left me [E] standing [B] in the doorway crying, [A] I got nothing to go back [E] to now.
The light [D#m] in this place [C#m] is [E] so bad, making [D#m] me sick in [C#m] the head.
[E] All the [D#m] laughter [C#m] is just making me [E] sad, the stars [D#m] have turned [C#m] cherry red.
[A] I'm [D] strumming on my [A] gay guitar, [B] [D] smoking a cheap cigar.
[A] [E] The ghost of [D#m] our old love [C#]
has not gone [E] away, don't look at it [D#m] like it will any time [C#m] soon.
[E] [A] You left me [E] standing [B] in the doorway [F#] crying [A] under the midnight [E]
moon.
[G#m] [C#m]
[E] [G#m]
[E] Maybe they'll get [B] me and [C#m]
[E] maybe they won't, but not tonight and it [D#m] won't [C#m] be here.
There [E] are things I could [D#m] say, [C#m] but I don't.
I know the [G#m] mercy of God must pay [C#m] me her.
[E] [A] I'm riding a midnight train,
[D] [A] got ice water in my veins.
[E] I would be [D#m] crazy [C#m] if I took you [E] back, he would go up against [C#m] every rule.
[A] [E] You left me standing [B] in the [F#] doorway crying, [A] suffering like [E] a fool.
The [D#m] [C#m] [E]
[G#m] [C#m] [E]
last [G#m] rays [C#m] of daylight [E] go down, but you're old no [C#m] more.
[E]
I can hear [D#m] the church bells [C#m] ringing in [E] the yard, I wonder who [D#m] they're ringing [C#m] for.
[E]
[A] I know I [D] can't win, [A] [B]
[A] but my heart just won't give in.
[E] Last [D#m] night I danced [C#m] with a stranger, [E]
but she just [G#m] reminded me you [C#m] were the one.
[A] You [E] left me standing [B] in the [F#] doorway crying [A] in the dark land of the [E] sun.
[G#m] [C#m] [E]
[C#m]
[E] I'll eat when I'm hungry, [C#m] [E] drink when I'm dry, and live my life [C#m] on the square.
[E]
And even if [G#m] the flesh falls [E] off of my face, I know someone will be there [C#m] to care.
[A] It always means so much, even the softest touch.
[E] I see nothing to be [D#m] gained by [C#m] any [E] explanation.
There's no words that need to be [C#m] said.
[A] You [E] left me standing [B] in the doorway [F#]
crying, [A] blues wrapped around [E] my head.
