[Cm] Friday [G] left me fine-bland with [Cm] the blue
And it's hard [Gm] to win [Ab] when you [G] always lose
[Cm] Cause the night [Gm] spots spend your [G] spirit beat [Cm] your head against the [F] wall
[Cm] Two dead ends and [G] you still got [Cm] to choose
[G] You [C] know the [G] bartender
They all know my name
[C] They catch [Ab] me when I'm pulling up [Gm] lanes
[G]
[Gm] I'm a pool [Ab] shooting shimmy [C] shyster shaking my head
But I [G] should be living [C] clean [G] instead
[Cm] You know the ladies I've [G] been seeing [Cm] off and on
[C] Well, they spend [Ab] your love and [G] then they're gone
[Cm] You can't be [Ab] loving someone [Cm] who's savage and cruel
Take [G] your love and [Cm] then they leave [G] on out of town
[Cm] [G] When [Cm]
[Ab] [Cm] [G]

[Cm] [G] [Cm] [G]
[Cm] I fall in [G] love [Cm] such a breeze
[G]

I break [F] your back
[C] You know [G] your perfume.
[Cm] Well, it won't let me [G] be and you [Cm] know the [G] bartender's all know my [Cm] name
And they catch me [Ab] when I'm pulling [Gm] up lane
[G]
[Cm] I'm a pool [Ab] shooting shimmy [Cm] shyster shaking [Fm] my head
[Cm] But I [G] should be living [Cm] clean [G] instead
Come [Cm] on, baby
[G] [Cm] Let your love light shine.
You gotta bury [Ab] me inside of your [G] fire
[Cm] Because you're eyes [Ab] enough to blind me [Cm] you're like a looking at [F] the sun
[Cm] You [G] gotta whisper [Cm] tell me [G] I'm the one
