C                                F 
'Don't you let the lessons stop, time ain't just hands on a clock'  
C                              G 
That's what I'm gonna tell Pop when I leave  
C                            F 
A vision on the lonely road, it's something that i gotta know:  
C                   G             C 
If i can drive this car all on my own 

C                                  F 
I guess i'll leave my girl behind, I should have done that long ago  
C                                  G 
Sometime I'm sure the pain will go away  
C                         F 
It wasn't working anyhow, the burners on the stove burnt out  
C                G             C 
A shame I didn't figure it out before  

Am            C                  F         C  
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down  
Am         F                G 
Sing along with me before I go  
Am            C         F                    C 
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the  
F                          G     C 
Things that we ain't never gonna know  

C                             F 
I met a man in San Francisco, he told me he did the same thing  
C                G 
Fifty years ago, he left his girl behind  
C                                     F 
He sits there in the park one hand is strumming his guitar  
C                        G        C 
Songs he found inside a bottle of wine 
C                                  F 
I saw the same things on his face, the ones that made me race away from  
C                          G 
everything i'd ever really known 
C                         F                                   
the scare to take responsibility from here -and put her there- 
C                          G            C     
Where everyone can see the seeds you've sown 

Am            C                  F         C  
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down  
Am         F                G 
Sing along with me before I go  
Am            C         F                    C 
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the  
F                          G     C 
Things that we ain't never gonna know

Am            C                  F         C  
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down  
Am         F                G 
Sing along with me before I go  
Am            C         F                    C 
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the  
F                          G     C 
Things that we ain't never gonna know  

C 
You know my line Joe? 

C                                    F         
If you think about the Creature that you might have thought would teach you  
C                                                 G           
That our hearts are just the thing right from the start 
C                                  F 
It would keep us from the worries, safe from sound and safe from fury,  
C                                G       C 
Safe at home besides the ones we know we loved 
C                             F 
If you told me from the start that I could never be apart from her,  
C                                        G 
I'd tell you, 'go to hell, get out of my way'  
C                                          F 
But i've come back with my tail between my legs I didn't know the way  
C                G              C 
A man can't be a man all on his own  

Am            C                  F         C  
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down  
Am         F                G 
Sing along with me before I go  
Am            C         F                    C 
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the  
F                          G     C 
Things that we ain't never gonna know  

Am               C            F        C 
The sun is going down on this lonesome town  
Am                 F          G 
But I got you here to keep my company 
Am               C       F                     C 
You ever had the feeling that we're living for a reason?  
F                 G                  C 
For that reason I won't ever let you go  
Am               C       F                     C 
You ever had the feeling that we're living for a reason?  
F                 G                  C 
For that reason I won't ever let you go  
F                 G                  C 
For that reason I won't ever let you go  
F                 G                  Am 
For that reason I won't ever let you go 
C      F                 G                  C 
       For that reason I won't ever let you go
