Lyrics

(F)Give me a sec ond, I, I need to get my sto ry straight.

But be (Gm)tween the drinks and sub tle things, the holes in my a pol o gies, you know I’m try ing hard to take it back.

So, if by the (Gm)time the bar (Am)clos es and you (Dm)feel like (C)fall ing (Bb)down, I’ll car ry you (C)home...

To (F)night

Now I (F)know that I’m not all that you’ve got.

I guess that I, I just thought may be we could find new ways to fall a part.

But our friends are back,

so let’s raise a toast,

’cause I found some one to (C)car ry (C)me home.

To (F)night
