lyrics

[Capo @ 2nd Fret]
|C | |Am G |C
_____________________________
C
One lonely street light, illuminates his side
Am
of town,
G C
Again, tonight.

C
Along in the shadows, Dan turns and tries not
Am
to break down,
G C
Again, tonight.
__________________/___________
CHORUS
Am C
He looks, once, back
Am C
But the shop is pitch, black
Am C
The walls aren’t playing guitars
Am C
There’s not a kid who could be a rock star
Am C
Someone’s replaced the rickety door
E7 Am, G
But that was what he loved it for
F Fm C
…Dan’s last night in town

|C | |Am G |C _____________________________
C
The last check is wrote, for second-hand things
Am
as old as his hair is grey,
G C
Again, tonight.
C
He hands over the spare key, just as useless as
Am
he felt each coming day,
G C
Again, tonight.

_____________________________
CHORUS
_____________________________
C
Driving back alone, from locking the rest up in
Am
an empty room
G C
Again, tonight.
C
Pulls onto the curb, Dan turns off the engine
A
and screams,
G C
Where did I go wrong?
_____________________________
BRIDGE
Am Em
And he falls, to, the ground,
F
His body is failing,
Am Em
And he clut - ches, the book,
F
Of a ruler fading

(Repeat optional)

CHORUS
