[Verse 1]

Another Friday night I'm somewhere

F C F

A little drunk and worn out from the show

It's a hallway to a hotel room

F G C G

The truck's already rolling down the road

[Verse 2]

I find the lights take off my coat

C F

I see her there just lying on the bed

She's seen me through my yesterdays

G C G

God knows tonight I'm needing her again

[Chorus]

C F

She's the place I go

C F

When there's nowhere left to run to

C F

She's the one I hold

Am G

When there's no one to hold on to

She's been with me late at night

When I was drowning in the dark

She heard my every word

When I was pouring out my heart

So I thank my lucky stars

G F

For every crack, scratch and scar on this guitar

[Bridge]

She's given me her best

When I am at my worst

When I can't find the pieces

Fingers scratching in the dirt

She offers no forgiveness

'Cause she likes to make it hurt

[Chorus]

C F

She's the place I go

C F

When there's nowhere left to run to

C F

She's the one I hold

Am G

When there's no one to hold on to

She's been with me late at night

When I was drowning in the dark

She heard my every word

When I was pouring out my heart

So I thank my lucky stars

G F

For every crack, scratch and scar on this guitar

[Interlude]

Last night still ringing in my head

Before today becomes tomorrow

Tonight I know I'll do it all again

When there's nowhere left to run to

C F

She's the one I hold

When there's no one to hold on to

She's been with me late at night

When I was drowning in the dark

She heard my every word

When I was pouring out my heart

So I thank my lucky stars

For every crack, scratch and scar on this guitar

[Outro]

And so I thank my lucky stars

G F C

For every crack, scratch and scar on this guitar
