Patty Loveless – The Nights Too Long (Guitar)

                        C
Sylvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont

               G                                 D
She said, "I'm moving away, I'm gonna get what I want

    G                                   C
I'm tired of these small-town boys that don't move fast enough

          G                                          D                G
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough"

                                       C
So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car

    G                                                 D
She sold 'most everything she had to make a brand new start

             G                            C
She said, "I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose

            G                                   D              G
'Cause when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes"

                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

                    C     D
Don't let go of her hand

                      G     C
You just might be the right man

    D         C
She loves the night

    D         C
She loves the night

    D                C
She doesn't want the night

                 G     C
Don't want it to end

                 G     C
Don't want it to end

          G                              C
Well, she works in an office now and she guesses the pay's all right

        G                                                D
She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night

       G                                             C
And as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd

              G                                D         G
Where she can dance and toss her hair back and laugh out loud

                                   C
Well, the music's playing fast and they just met

   G                                                      D
He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat

             G                             C
And with her back against the bar, she can listen to the band

          G                         D                G
And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand

                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

                    C     D
Don't let go of her hand

                      G     C
You just might be the right man

    D         C
She loves the night

    D         C
She loves the night

    D                C
She doesn't want the night

                 G     C
Don't want it to end

                 G     C
Don't want it to end

                 G     C  G    C  G
Don't want it to end
