[Verse 1]
C Em/B Am C/G
I’m walking through the summer nights
C Em/B Am C/G
Jukebox playing low
C Em/B Am C/G
Yesterday everything was going too fast
C Em/B Am C/G
Today, it’s moving too slow
F Bb(sus2) F Bb(sus2)
I got no place left to turn
F Bb(sus2)F G
| |
I got nothing left to burn
C Em/B Am C/G
Don’t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
C Em Am C/G
It probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow
F C G D
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
F C
I got nothing to go back to now
[Verse 2]
C Em/B Am C/G
The light in this place is so bad
C Em/B Am C/G
Making me sick in the head
C Em/B Am C/G
All the laughter is just making me sad
C Em/B Am C/G
The stars have turned cherry red
F Bb(sus2) F Bb(sus2)
I’m strumming on my gay guitar
F Bb(sus2)F G
| |
Smoking a cheap cigar
C Em/B Am C/G
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
C Em/B Am C/G
Don’t look [it (?)] like it will anytime soon
F C G D
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
F C
Under the midnight moon

[Verse 3]
C Em/B Am C/G
Maybe they’ll get me and maybe they won’t
C Em/B Am C/G
But not tonight and it won’t be here
C Em/B Am C/G
There are things I could say but I don’t
C Em/B Am C/G
I know the mercy of God must be near
F Bb(sus2) F Bb(sus2)
I’ve been riding the midnight train
F Bb(sus2)F G
| |
Got ice water in my veins
C Em/B Am C/G
I would be crazy if I took you back
C Em/B Am C/G
It would go up against every rule
F C G D
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
F C
Suffering like a fool
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
C Em/B Am C/G
When the last rays of daylight go down
C Em/B Am C/G
Buddy, you’ll roll no more
C Em/B Am C/G
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
C Em/B Am C/G
I wonder who they’re ringing for
F Bb(sus2) F Bb(sus2)
I know I can’t win
F Bb(sus2)F G
| |
But my heart just won’t give in
C Em/B Am C/G
Last night I danced with a stranger
C Em/B Am C/G
But she just reminded me you were the one
F C G D
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
F C
In the dark land of the sun
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
C Em/B Am C/G
I’ll eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry
C Em/B Am C/G
And live my life on the square
C Em/B Am C/G
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
C Em/B Am C/G
I know someone will be there to care
F Bb(sus2) F Bb(sus2)
It always means so much
F Bb(sus2)F G
| |
Even the softest touch
C Em/B Am C/G
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
C Em/B Am C
There’s no words that need to be said
F C G D
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
F C
Blues wrapped around my head
