Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
G D C G
G D C G
[Verse 1]
G D C G
Queen size mattress on an old wood oak floor
G D C G
And I don’t see the need in closin’ a screen door
G D C G
I wanna hear the birds when the day finally comes
G D C G D G
I fear all my days of bein’ young are done, we’re only just begun
[Verse 2]
G D C G
How close can a man come to God before dyin’?
G D C G
About as close as you were when you were tryin’
G D C G
To shade the sun from your eyes on the creek’s edge darlin’
G D C G
There’s a bar ‘round the bend a man is bendin’ blues guitarin’
[Chorus]
C G
When the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ of a Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The sad times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
[Break]
G D C G
G D C G
[Verse 3]
G D C G
And I know how hard it is to love a boy like me
G D C G
With my dry sense of humour and my reckless tendencies
G D C G
But not all labour’s done with hardened hands
G D C G
You been chompin’ at the bit, just to love an honest man
[Chorus]
C G
When the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ of a Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The sad times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
[Break]
C G D Em
C G D Em
C G D Em
C G D Em
[Chorus]
C G
So when the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ for your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The savage times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You’ll be beggin’ of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
