Jackson Browne - Enough Of The Night

capo 3rd fret

C G
you used to stand on the tables
C G
you used to shoot out the lights
C G
you used to stop trucks on i – 19
C G
in your blue leopard tights
C G
you got the vote of your high school
C G
most likely to exceed
C G
but not likely to ever get enough
C D G
enough of what you need

C G C G
enough of the night
C G C G
enough of the night

C G
and now the carnival lights come down
C G
the sounds of laughter recede
C G
you sit and drink in this cardboard town
C G
the fast lane gone to seed
C G
you used to laugh about the damage done
C G
but there was no way to know
C G
how little distance you had actually come
C D G
and how far you’d have to go

Em
it’s tough to do , baby
C
it’s tough to make it
Em
oooh – mmmm
D
when the heart is naked
Em
it’s tough for you , baby
C G
it’s tough for me , too
Am G D
without all this pain you see through

C G
now i want to see you smile
C G
you know how it’s just been awhile
C G
don’t allow another night to close
C D
on your empty cup , you’ve had enough of those

C G C G
enough of the night
C G C G
enough of the night

C G
you used to count on the miracles
C G
the old shot in the dark
C G
you used to wait for the setting sun
C G
to help you hit your mark
C G
you used to stand on the tables
C G
you used to shoot out the lights
C G
you dressed right out of the fables , baby
C G
like the arabian nights

C G
but you were never the princess
C G
more like the queen of the thieves
C G
and my heart was never more than one of the many
C D G
a queen receives

Em
it’s tough to do , baby
C
it’s tough to make it
Em
mmmmmm
D
when the heart is naked
Em
it’s tough for you , baby
C G
it’s tough for me too
Am G D
without the disdain to see through

C G
now , i want to see you smile
C G
you know how , it’s just been awhile
C G
don’t allow another heart to pass
C
beyond your reach ,
D
say baby not so fast
C G
hey , baby not so fast
C G
you’ve had enough of the night
C D G
to fill the street with tears
C G
you’ve had enough of those empty hours
C D G
to last a thousand years

C G C G
enough of the night
C G C G
enough of the night
C G
enough of the night

[ slowly ]
C D G
enough of the tears
