The Nights Too Long(Keyboard chords)

	        You might want to play this with the G C D chord forms using a capo in the  
2nd fret for the open tones. 
 
A                                   D 
Silvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont 
                     A                                                   E 
She said I'm moving away I'm gonna get what I want 
     A                                                        D 
I'm tired of these small town boys, they don't move fast enough 
                 A                                                                   E                    A 
I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough 
 
 
A                                                              D 
So she saved her tips and over time and bought an old rusty car 
         A                                                                               E 
She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start 
                 A                                          D 
She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose 
                      A                                                   E                        A 
Cause when I get to where I'm going, I'm gonna buy me all new clothes 
 
A                     D                          A 
The nights too long, it just drags on and on 
                                      E 
And then there's never enough 
                                                        A 
That's when the sun starts coming up 
                            D      E                                  A     D 
Don't let go of her hand, you just might be the right man 
       E             D              E            D 
She loves the night, she loves the night 
        E                        D 
She doesn't want the night 
                         A 
Don't want it to end 
D                      A 
Don't want it to end 
 
 
A                                                                D 
Well she works in an office now, and she guesses the pays alright 
                 A                                                                          E 
She can a buy a few new things to wear, and still go out at night 
             A                                                                           D 
and as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd 
                          A                                                       E            A 
Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud 
 
A                                                  D 
Well the music playing fast, and they just met 
      A                                                                                  E 
He presses up against her and his shirts all soaked with sweat 
                     A                                              D 
And with her back against the bar, she can listen to the band 
                 A                                     E                        A 
And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand 
 
A                     D                          A 
The nights too long, it just drags on and on 
                                      E 
And then there's never enough 
                                                        A 
That's when the sun starts coming up 
                            D      E                                  A     D 
Don't let go of her hand, you just might be the right man 
       E             D              E            D 
She loves the night, she loves the night 
        E                        D 
She doesn't want the night 
                         A 
Don't want it to end 
D                      A 
Don't want it to end 
 
D                      A 
Don't want it to end 
 
D                      A 
 
D                      A 
 
D                      A
