Standard tuning, and played with a capo on the 3rd fret (I\'m sure that\'s how she plays 
live...)  Chords are relative to the capo...
1st Verse
AmLook for a sign in the window
An ad in the Gpaper, a job waiting tables
Tie on an Amapron for change in my pocket
To spend at the Gshops and study the docket
I can be Amhonest, I can respond
Hold my Gown and take on what comes
Save it for later, be restrained
Make up my mind, then want to change it
Chorus
Nights are Flong, they creep up upon us
Like a Emstorm, when nothing\'s in order
And these little Fthoughts, they buzz like a train
Find my Empage and turn them again and again
2nd Verse
AmOh, I guess I got lost
I must have Gforgotten, it\'s just been so hot
I make all my Amchoices on coins I can toss
Coins for the Gwashing, to slide in the slots
And I can be Amhonest, I can be strong
Wait for Gall those letters to come
Peel off the Amlabels, check the dates
Order my Gdays and then re-arrange them
Chorus
Nights are Flong, they creep up upon us
Like a Emstorm, when nothing\'s in order
And these little Fthoughts they buzz like a train
Lock the Emdoors and wait for the sun to come up again...

1st Verse

Look for a sign in the window

An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables

Tie on an apron for change in my pocket

To spend at the shops and study the docket

I can be honest, I can respond

Hold my own and take on what comes

Save it for later, be restrained

Make up my mind, then want to change it

Chorus

Nights are long, they creep up upon us

Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order

And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train

Find my page and turn them again and again

2nd Verse

Oh, I guess I got lost

I must have forgotten, it\'s just been so hot

I make all my choices on coins I can toss

Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots

And I can be honest, I can be strong

Wait for all those letters to come

Peel off the labels, check the dates

Order my days and then re-arrange them

Chorus

Nights are long, they creep up upon us

Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order

And these little thoughts they buzz like a train

Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
