Chords

G
Sylvia was working

      C
As a waitress in Beaumont

          G
She said I'm moving away

                      D
I'm gonna get what I want

     G
I'm tired of these small town boys

      C
they don't move fast enough

           G
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket

     D              G
And likes his living rough.

 G
So she saved her tips and overtime

     C
And bought an old rusty car.

     G 
She sold most everything she had

                     D
To make a brand new start.

            G
She said I won't be needing these

       C
Silly dresses and nylon hose

               G
'Cause when I get to where I'm goin'

           D            G
I'm gonna buy me all new clothes.
Chorus
 G7              C
The night's too long

        G
It just drags on and on

                       D
And then there's never enough

                           G
That's when the sun starts coming up

  G7                C
Don't let go of her hand

         G  C
You just might be the right man

   D           C       D          C
She loves the night, she loves the night

                  G
Doesn't want it to end.

          G       
 Well she works in an office now

         C                    G
 And she guesses the pay's allright

 G
 She can buy a few new things to wear

                     D
 And still go out at night

        G
 And as soon as she gets home from work

              C
 She wants to be out with the crowd

               G
 Where she can dance and toss her head back

     D         G
 And lough out loud.

 G
 Now the music's playing fast

     C
 And they just met

            G
 He presses up against her

                                 D
 And his shirt's all soaked with sweat

              G
 And with her back against the bar

         C
 She can listen to the band

           G
 And she's holding a Corona

          D                G
 And it's cold against her hand.
Chorus
 G7              C
The night's too long

        G
It just drags on and on

                       D
And then there's never enough

                           G
That's when the sun starts coming up

  G7                C
Don't let go of her hand

         G  C
You just might be the right man

   D           C       D          C
She loves the night, she loves the night

                  G
Doesn't want it to end.
