[Verse 1]

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 A7sus4

There’s a harvest each Saturday night

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 D A7sus4

At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 D A7sus4

A place you can stand for one night and get gone

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 D A7sus4

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 A7sus4

And It’s clear this conversation ain’t doing a thing

Em Cadd9 Dsus4 D A7sus4

Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
