It's an oGther lonely SG/F#aturday nEmight
In my Ccar, with the C/Bradio Don
GDon't know G/F#why I Emkeep driving by
Cause A7I know you're done Dgone
GI bet you're D/F#having a Emgood time
Out on the Ctown, with your C/Bsomebody Dnew
While I'm Gdrivin' ar Dound
EmGettin' Ddown
CPaintin' the Dtown Gblue
DI stopped Gby to see a G/F#few of my Emold friends
Tryin' to Cget you off my C/Bmind, some Dhow
And GI was thinkin' G/F#this old Emheartache might just
A7Get lost in the cr Dowd
Then some Gbody brought up D/F#all those Emmemories
And had to ask Chow I'm gettin' C/Bover Dyou
I'm just Grunnin' ar Dound
EmGettin' Ddown
CPaintin' the Dtown Gblue
EmEverywhere I go

So, I'm Ggonna pull my G/F#self to Emgether
And make the A7best of this fallin' a Dpart
So if you Gsee me out G/F#having a Emgood time
And actin' like CI forgot C/Ball about Dyou

EmGettin' Ddown
CPaintin' the Dtown blue
With Gout you ar Dound
EmI'm gettin' Ddown
