[Intro] C#5 A5 E E C#5 A5 E E [Verse 1]

        C#5                 A5                          E        E
There's a streetlight in the dark and it's starin' back at me

     C#5                          A5                         E        E
As I sit here on a corner, smokin' one last cigarette before I leave

    C#5                A5                   E        E
See I know now that the world is as cold as they come

             C#5                      A5                E        E
And that the truth 'hind your eyes can speak as loud as your tongue

[Pre-Chorus]

        C#5           A5               E        E
Girl, I don't know yet when I'm coming back

               C#5                A5               E         E
But I felt the fire of a man who's lost everything he has

[Chorus]

A5*                                   C#5*
Where does the sun go when you're not around?

                  B5*                            A5*
I was fine when I left, but I can't stand this now

                               C#5*
How many nights yet do I have alone?

        B5*                  A5
'Forе I feel, 'fore I feel home

             C#5
'Fore I feel home

             A5  C#5 B5
'Fore I feel home

[Banjo Solo] C#5 A5 E E C#5 A5 E E [Verse 2]

           C#5         A5                        E         E
I'm just a no-good worn soul that's tryin' to survive

  C#5                         A5               E         E
I want few good memories and a peace that I cannot find

   C#5               A5                             E         E
So many hours of this pavement that drove me to the ground

            C#5                  A5                       E         E
And there's so many nights that I lie, just turn this car around

[Pre-Chorus]

        C#5           A5               E         E
Girl, I don't know yet when I'm coming back

               C#5                A5               E      E
But I felt the fire of a man who's lost everything he has

[Out-Chorus]

A5*                                   C#5*
Where does the sun go when you're not around?

                  B5*                           A5*
I was fine when I left but I can't stand this now

                               C#5
How many nights yet do I have alone?

        B5*                  A5
'Forе I feel, 'fore I feel home

             C#5  B5
'Fore I feel home

             A5  C#5 B5
'Fore I feel home

             C#5 B5  A5
'Fore I feel home

             C#5 B5  A5
'Fore I feel home    

             C#5      B5  A5
 'Fore I feel home
