I [E] was running through the summer rain, trying to catch the evening train,
[A] and kill that old familiar pain, weeding through my tangled brain,
[D] but when I tipped my bottle back, I snacked into a cop I didn't [G] see.
[E] That police man said, Mr.
Kool, if you ain't drunk then you're a fool,
[A] I said, if that's against the law, then tell me why I never saw [D] a man
locked in that jail of yours, who wasn't just as low down for [G] as me.
Well, that was when someone [A] turned out the lights,
[C] [D] and I wound up in jail to spend [G] the night,
dreaming of all the white lonely [C] girls,
[A] [D] in this best of all [G] possible worlds.
[E] Well, I woke up next morning feeling like my head was gone,
[A] and like my thick old tongue was licking something sick and wrong,
[D] and I told that man I'd sell my soul for something wet and cold,
cause that [G] old cell, [E] that kind of jailer,
gritted me all eaten up with sympathy,
[A] then poured himself another beer, and he came and whispered in my [D] ear,
it was just a dollar, Bob boy, you couldn't even [G] buy the smell.
Said I knew there was something I [A] liked about this town,
[C] [D] but it takes more than that to [G] bring me down, down, down,
cause there's still a lot of white [C] lonely [A] girls,
[D] in this best of all [G] possible worlds.
[A]
[F#] Well, he finally came and told me they was gonna set me free,
[B] and I'd be leaving town if I knew what was good for me,
[E] I said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about [A] my health,
[F#] I said I won't be leaving no more quicker than I can,
[B] cause I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand,
[E] and I don't need this town here, it's more than I've ever needed, [A] nothing else,
cause there's still a lot of drinks, but I [B] ain't drunk,
[D] [E] lots of pretty thoughts, but I [A] ain't thunk,
ah yeah, and there's still so many pretty [D] lone girls,
[B] [E] in this best of all [A] possible worlds.
