[Verse]

E F#m

The night life has its glamor when you're lonely

B7 E Esus4

It seems to help you make it for awhile

E F#m

It calls to fools who think the only answer

F# B7

Is wrapped up in a warm and willing smile

E F#m

And so I went out searching every evening

B7 E Esus4

Oh I'd drink the wine to whet my appetite

E F#m

Till I'd find some pretty girl back in the corner

A B7 E Esus4 E

To be my life's companion for the night

[Chorus]

G#m A

But I just can't seem to take it anymore

G#m A

I feel empty walking through a swinging door

Seeing all the lonely people just staring at the band

Wrapped inside their feelings playing one night stands

The lies that I don't think she even heard

The wine would start to bring us close together

Our lips would meet to quench a hungry thirst

E F#m

We'd slip into a world of champagne feelings

B7 E

But in the morning all the bubbles burst
