Intro: G5, F, C
G5 F C
Got clothes in my closet, new shoes to wear
C G5
All that i've wanted, i've more than my share
G5 F

The woman who loves me, she's more than a dream
C G5
so why am I feeling so low down and mean?
G5 F C
I gave up on smokin' two years ago
C

and I ain't been drinkin for a month now or so.
G5 F C
I tell everybody, I've nothin' to hide
C

while I keep the devil locked deep down inside.

But tonight I'll be out there runnin' around.
C9 G5

Tonight by the light of the moon on the ground.
C9 G5 D
G5
Tonight while the neighbors are sleepin' so sound.
C9 G5 D G5
Tonight I'll slip off and I'll go on downtown.
We used to get crazy and jump in our cars
and burn up the highways, and close down the bars.
Now we're all married, and some moved away.
And when we get together, there's nothin' to say.
The lights are all down, the moon's hangin' high
And the stars are all shinin' way up in the sky
If anyone's askin' where I'll be found,
it's home in the mornin', but tonight I'm downtown.
