Lovers Lane
[Intro]

[Verse]
GShe used to be a dancer, 
GHe used to be the man 
EmBut now they seem Cto settle 
For anything they Gcan 
GAnd their children all have scattered 
GFar across the fruited plain 
EmLeft behind a Csilence 
That they just can't put Gaway... 
GSo she gave herself to Jesus 
GAnd that lasted 'bout a year 
EmWhile he thought about that Cwaitress 
And cracked another Gbeer... 
GAnd all that quiet resignation 
GSeemed like all they had to share 
EmThey keep moving' round each Cother 
Like they ain't even Gthere... 
[Chorus]
DWhat about that mCoonlight 
GWhat about that kiss 
DHow did all those velvet Cnights 
GEnd up here like this 
DAnd though the world keeps beatinC' on 'em 
EmYa know they might go through it all Cagain 
GAll for one more night 
DBack on CLovers GLane... 
[Verse]
GHe tried to be a good provider 
GHe was a diehard union man 
EmBut then the union told the rank Cand file 
GBoys, we've done all that we can 
GAnd so she watched him slowly vanish 
GJust like a shadow going down 
EmYou break the spirit of a workinCg man 
Might as well, Gmight as well put him in the ground... 
[Chorus]
DWhat about that moonlight, Ctell me
GWhat about that kiss
DHow did all those Cvelvet nights
GEnd up here like this
DAnd though the world keeps beatin' Con 'em
EmYa know they might go through it Call again
GAll for one more night
DBack on CLovers GLane...

GAnd when you take too much for granted
GPretty soon you find it gone
EmLike where did all Cthe years go
And what the hell Gwent on
GAnd there's a hole deep in the country
GAnd we're all listed day to day
EmUsed to fill that Chole with dreams now
GSeems it all just slipped away...

Lovers Lane

[Intro]

G G G G

[Verse]

She used to be a dancer,

He used to be the man

Em C

But now they seem to settle

For anything they can

And their children all have scattered

Far across the fruited plain

Em C

Left behind a silence

That they just can't put away...

So she gave herself to Jesus

And that lasted 'bout a year

Em C

While he thought about that waitress

And cracked another beer...

And all that quiet resignation

Seemed like all they had to share

Em C

They keep moving' round each other

Like they ain't even there...

[Chorus]

D C

What about that moonlight

What about that kiss

D C

How did all those velvet nights

End up here like this

D C

And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em

Em C

Ya know they might go through it all again

All for one more night

D C G

Back on Lovers Lane...

[Verse]

He tried to be a good provider

He was a diehard union man

Em C

But then the union told the rank and file

Boys, we've done all that we can

And so she watched him slowly vanish

Just like a shadow going down

Em C

You break the spirit of a working man

Might as well, might as well put him in the ground...

[Chorus]

D C

What about that moonlight, tell me

What about that kiss

D C

How did all those velvet nights

End up here like this

D C

And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em

Em C

Ya know they might go through it all again

All for one more night

D C G

Back on Lovers Lane...

[Solo]

Em C

[Verse]

And when you take too much for granted

Pretty soon you find it gone

Em C

Like where did all the years go

And what the hell went on

And there's a hole deep in the country

And we're all listed day to day

Em C

Used to fill that hole with dreams now

Seems it all just slipped away...

[Chorus]

D C

What about that moonlight, tell me

What about that kiss

D C

How did all those velvet nights

End up here like this

D C

And though the world keeps beatin' on 'em

Em C

Ya know they might go through it all again

All for one more night

[Outro]

D C G
