Where the Night Goes Josh Ritter
Heard the wor[C/G]d from Brenda Lee[G/B]
[Am] You were coming h[Am7/G]ome she said
[F] Cross my heart I could [G]not believe it
[F] Holy hell you could have [G]struck me dead but
[C/G] Three cheers for the [G/B]grapevine what
[Am] Told me you were coming [Am7/G]home
[F] Let's see where the n[G]ight takes us
[F] Let's see where the n[G]ight goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [Dm] [G]
[C/G] I admit it's been [G/B]slow going
[Am] You pay your bills and [Am7/G]still they own you
[F] You know the way with [G]best laid plans
Still [F]this is me and that's [G]who I am now
[C/G] I make the rounds and [G/B]pay my dues
M[Am]eet up with friends and I [Am7/G]dream about you
[F] It isn't much but it's [G]still a lot
[F]Sometimes honey I [G]still get lost
In those [C/G]long nights, [G/B]old cars
[Am] Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
[F] Drop the pedal like a h[Dm]oly roller
[G]Sheriff of hell couldn't [G]pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a [G/B]bad town
[Am] Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
[F] Sweet tea [Dm] white lightning
[G] Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it's so [C/B]good to see ya
It's [Am]been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
[F] Let's see where the ni[Dm]ght takes us
[G] Let's see where the night goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [Dm] [G]
[C/G] [G/B] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [Dm] [G]
[C/G] Last I saw you was a'[G/B]greyhound waiting
You said [Am]don't be sad and [Am7/G]don't be blue
[F] LA is not the [G]destination
[F]Still I believe that I [G]must pass through
[C/G] I saw your face from a t[G/B]ime to time
[Am] Now you're coming [Am7/G]home
[F] Let's see where the [G]night takes us
[F] Let's see where the [G]night goes
[C/G] Only the lonely know the[G/B] way I'm feelin'
Only the [Am]living go to the [Am7/G]graveyard grieving
[F] Still we're alive and [G]you're astounding
[G]Feel the pulse of the [G]world pounding
[C/G] Feel the pull of the [G/B]American darkness
The [Am]mountains the rivers the [Am7/G]fields at harvest
[F] It's all we have and [G]that's a lot
[F]Come on honey [G]let's get lost
In a [C/G]long night, o[G/B]ld car
[Am] Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
[F] Drop the pedal like a [Dm]holy roller
[G]Sheriff of hell couldn't [G]pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a b[G/B]ad town
[Am] Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
[F] Sweet tea [Dm] white lightning
[G] Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it's so go[C/B]od to see ya
It's [Am]been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
[F] Let's see where the n[Dm]ight takes us
[G] Let's see where the night goes?
In a [C/G]long night, o[G/B]ld car
[Am] Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
[F] Drop the pedal like a h[Dm]oly roller
[G]Sheriff of hell couldn't [G]pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a b[G/B]ad town
[Am] Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
[F] Sweet tea [Dm] white lightning
[G] Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it's so go[C/B]od to see ya
It's [Am]been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
[F] Let's see where the ni[Dm]ght takes us
[G] Let's see where the night goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am] [Am7/G] [F] [Dm] [G]
A lon[C/G]g night,
The ol[G/B]d car
The [Am]backroads
And the [Am7/G]boneyards
