[Verse 1]
          C                Am              F               C
There's a young man in the corner, playing crazy all night long.

C              F             G
Quarters piled high upon the table.

      C            Am            F               C
And he orders Wild Turkey with a quick wit and a smile.

   C                            Am                G
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."

        C                     Am               F              C
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap tell me a different story

     C              F                      G
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes

     C              Am           F                  C
Just another lonely country boy, grown weary of the night.

     C                   Am                 G
Just another boy, with a sink full of dirty dishes.
[Chrous 1]
Em                Am
And where are you tonight?

Em                    Am
When I left you in my dreams last night,

    C                E                    F
You promised me that we would be breaking free.

Am         Em     Am
Where are you tonight?
[Verse 2]
       C               Am                    F             C
And he tells me of the backroads, and I will ride them all night long.

C                            Am             G
And the days of fate and the moon will hang forever.

      C                  Am          F             C
And a cloud of dust will kick up and linger like a sun.

         C                       Am                 G
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender.

         C               Am
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror

         F             C
with his arm around my shoulder,

C                   F         G
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.

    C                Am           F               C
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side,

    C                         Am             G
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
[Chorus 2]
Em                Am
And where are you tonight?

Em                  Am
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light,

    C          E                  F
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me.

Am         Em     Am
Where are you tonight?

Dm                G
And where are you tonight?

  C                   Am
I think I can make it through all right,

        C                     E             Am
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
