C                      G/B
   Heard the word from Brenda Lee

Am                   G
   You were coming home she said

F                         G
   Cross my heart I could not believe it

F                           G
   Holy hell you could have struck me dead (but)

C                       G/B
   Three cheers for the grapevine (what)

Am                         G
   Told me you were comin' home
[Chorus]
F                        G
   Let’s see where the night takes us

F                       G
   Let’s see where the night goes
[Piano Solo] C G/B Am G F Dm G [Verse 2]
C                     G/B
   I admit it’s been slow goin'

Am                        G
   You pay your bills and still they own ya

F                        G
   You know the way with best laid plans

      F                     G
Still this is me and that’s who I am (now)

C                        G/B
   I make the rounds and pay my dues

     Am                    G
Meet up with friends and I dream 'bout you

F                          G
   It isn’t much but it's still a lot

F                 G
Sometimes honey I still get lost
[Refrain]
         C            G/B
In those long nights, old cars

Am                   G
   Backroads and the boneyards

    F                          Dm
You   dropped the pedal like a holy roller

G
Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over

C                   G/B
Tough girl from the bad town

Am                   G
   Brought up not to stay down

F             Dm
   Sweet tea,    white lightning

G
   Breakin' hearts and not mindin'

C                 G/B
Come on in it’s so good to see ya

     Am             G
It’s been so long I know I know I…
[Chorus]
F                      Dm
   Let’s see where the night takes us

G
   Let’s see where the night goes…
