Lyrics

There’s a (Em)har vest

each (Dsus4)Sat ur day (A7sus4)night at the (Em)bars filled (C)with per fume (A7sus4)and hitch ing a ride;

a place you could stand for (A7sus4)one night and get gone.

And it’s (C)clear this con ver sa tion (Dsus4)ain’t (D)do ing (A7sus4)a thing, ’cause these (C)boys on ly lis ten to me when I sing.

And I don’t feel like (Dsus4)sing ing (D)to night

all the (C)same songs.

Here in these

deep cit y (C)lights,

girl could get (G)lost

to (C)night.

I’m find ing ev ’ry rea son to be gone.

There’s noth ing here to hold on to.

Could I (C)hold you?

The sit u a tion’s al ways the same.

You got your (C)wolves in their clothes whis per ing (A7sus4)Hol ly wood’s name,

steal ing (C)gold from the sil ver (Dsus4)they (D)see.

But it’s not (C)me.

Here in these

Could I (C)hold you?

Call ing out,

(G)“Some bod y save me.” I feel like I’m (C)fad ing a way.

Am I’m gone?

Call ing out,

(G)“Some bod y save me.” I feel like I’m (C)fad ing.

Mm.

(A)No, no, no.

(C)No, no, no, (A)No, no, no, (C)no.

Deep cit y (C)lights,

girl could get (G)lost

to (C)night.

I’m find ing ev ’ry rea son to be gone,

and there’s noth ing here to hold on to.

Could I (A)hold on to

(C)you?
