Title:
Where Are You Tonight?
C Am F C
There's a young man in the corner playing 'Crazy' all night long
Am G
quarters piled high upon the table
C Am F C
He orders Wild Turkey and with a quick wit and a smile
Am G
he says, 'My darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable'
C Am
But his baseball cap and this bar-room rap
F C
tell me a different story
Am G
that this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
C Am F C
Just another lonely country-boy grown weary of the night
Am G
Just another boy with a sink full of dirty dishes
F G Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am
When I left you in my dreams last night
C E Am
you promised me that we would be breaking free
C E Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am
He tells me of the back roads
F C
and how we'll drive them all night long
C Am G
how the days will fade and the moon will hang forever
C Am F C
and how the cloud of dust we'll kick up will linger like a song
C Am G
and the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender
C Am
Then I catch us in the bar-room mirror
F C
with his arm around my shoulder
C Am G
this girl I see has grown so unfamiliar
C Am F C
and as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side
C Am G
she can't help but laugh at a life grown so peculiar
F G Am
Where are you tonight?
C Am
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light
C E Am
not knowing if you'll be there to guide me
C E Am
Where are you tonight?
Dm G
Where are you tonight?
C Am
I think that I'll make it through all right,
C E Am
but I'd love to have you just one more time beside me
