-Next To The Last Romantic-
-Josh Ritter-
---------------------------
Capo 1
G
He's rGiding the plains living up to his name
As the nCext to the last true romaGntic
He kCnows that his story is trGagic
But he can't rAmest
Til he's nDext
To yGou
All the Ggirls know his fame the men curse his name
And they tCalk about him like he's mGagic
But he's the nCext to the last true romGantic
And he can't Amrest
Til he's Dnext
To Gyou
He's stolen Chearts like they're horses
And ChorCses when Chearts Ccan't be Gfound
He keeps rCiding from one horse to Cone horse to Cone Chorse Dtowns
(It gets him down)
He knGow's he's a fool to get caught up with you
But he's the nCext to the last true romGantic
He can't lCet go of love once he's hGad it
And he can't rAmest
Til he's nDext
To yGou
There's always whiCskey and women
And CwomCen and CwhisCkey Garound
He can't tCell which is worse to be dyCing of thCirst oCr to droDwn
(It gets him down)
So he smGiles through the pain he pinched Estelle he danced with Jane
Sometimes eCven he don't know how he sGtands it
But he's the nCext to the last true romGantic
And he can't rAmest
Til he's nDext
To yGou
And he can't Amrest
Til he's nDext
To yGou

---------------------------

Capo 1

He's riding the plains living up to his name

C G

As the next to the last true romantic

C G

He knows that his story is tragic

But he can't rest

Til he's next

To you

All the girls know his fame the men curse his name

C G

And they talk about him like he's magic

C G

But he's the next to the last true romantic

And he can't rest

Til he's next

To you

He's stolen hearts like they're horses

C C C C G

And horses when hearts can't be found

C C C C D

He keeps riding from one horse to one horse to one horse towns

(It gets him down)

He know's he's a fool to get caught up with you

C G

But he's the next to the last true romantic

C G

He can't let go of love once he's had it

And he can't rest

Til he's next

To you

There's always whiskey and women

C C C C G

And women and whiskey around

C C C C D

He can't tell which is worse to be dying of thirst or to drown

(It gets him down)

So he smiles through the pain he pinched Estelle he danced with Jane

C G

Sometimes even he don't know how he stands it

C G

But he's the next to the last true romantic

And he can't rest

Til he's next

To you

And he can't rest

Til he's next

To you
