As recorded by Turnpike Troubadours (From the 2025 Album THE PRICE OF ADMISSION) [Intro] Am Em F C G Am Em F C G [Verse 1]
    Am      Em           F        C                 G
The sawmill lights, they shone so bright, you could barely see the stars

       Am       Em     F       C        G
But we caught a couple falling out on a blanket in the yard

       Am      Em          F          C           G
You're winding down from a late shift down at the nursing home

Am       Em      F     C        G
Feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm grown
[Chorus]
F                  C
Come back from the dark somehow

G                     Am       G
Finally living in the here and now

F            C            G         Am G
No sign of a thundercloud following you

F             C
Don't take it personal

    G                 Am       G
The world don't turn around you

F                C              G              Am
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through
[Verse 2]
Am                F       C            G
We washed the X's off our hands at the honky tonk

   Am          Em        F C      G
We two-stepped pretty bad  and pretendеd we were drunk

Am     Em             F       C         G
Sharеd cigarettes and talked about what we would do

  Am      Em     F      C        G
I knew no matter what I did, I'd never be with you
[Chorus]
F                  C
Come back from the dark somehow

G                     Am       G
Finally living in the here and now

F            C            G         Am G
No sign of a thundercloud following you

F             C
Don't take it personal

    G                 Am       G
The world don't turn around you

F                C              G              Am
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through
[Interlude] Am G Am Em F C G Am Em F C G [Verse 3]
       Am       Em      F C        G
Now we stare up and I say constellations that I know

      Am       Em        F               C      G
You repeat 'em back, but you don't care, you're only three years old

     Am   Em               F   C       G
It's nice to see the world the same as someone

   Am       Em      F     C        G
It feels so good to be up late, pretending that I'm young
[Chorus]
F                  C
Come back from the dark somehow

G                     Am       G
Finally living in the here and now

F            C            G         Am G
No sign of a thundercloud following you

F             C
Don't take it personal

    G                 Am       G
The world don't turn around you

F                C              G              Am
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through

F                  C
Come back from the dark somehow

G                     Am       G
Finally living in the here and now

F            C            G         Am G
No sign of a thundercloud following you

F             C
Don't take it personal

    G                 Am       G
The world don't turn around you

F                C              G              Am
Hold on to the moment like it's heaven passing through
