Patty Loveless - The nights too long

Sylvia was working as a ^Cwaitress in Beaumont She said, "I'm ^Gmoving away, I'm gonna get what I ^Dwant I'm ^Gtired of these small-town boys that ^Cdon't move fast enough I'm gonna ^Gfind me one who wears a leather jacket and ^Dlikes his living ^Grough"

So she saved her tips and overtime and ^Cbought an old rusty car She ^Gsold 'most everything she had to make a brand new ^Dstart She said, "I ^Gwon't be needing these silly ^Cdresses and nylon hose 'Cause when ^GI get to where I'm going, I'm gonna ^Dbuy me all new ^Gclothes"

The night's too ^Clong It just drags ^Gon and on And then there's never e^Dnough That's when the sun starts ^Gcoming up Don't let go of her ^Chand ^D You just might be the ^Gright ^Cman She ^Dloves the ^Cnight She ^Dloves the ^Cnight She ^Ddoesn't want the ^Cnight Don't want it to ^Gend ^C Don't want it to ^Gend ^C

Well, she ^Gworks in an office now and she ^Cguesses the pay's all right She can ^Gbuy a few new things to wear and still go out at ^Dnight And as ^Gsoon as she gets home from work, she wants to ^Cbe out with the crowd Where she can ^Gdance and toss her hair back and ^Dlaugh out ^Gloud

Well, the music's playing fast and ^Cthey just met He ^Gpresses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with ^Dsweat And with her ^Gback against the bar, she can ^Clisten to the band And she's ^Gholding a Corona and it's ^Dcold against her ^Ghand

The night's too ^Clong It just drags ^Gon and on And then there's never e^Dnough That's when the sun starts ^Gcoming up Don't let go of her ^Chand ^D You just might be the ^Gright ^Cman She ^Dloves the ^Cnight She ^Dloves the ^Cnight She ^Ddoesn't want the ^Cnight Don't want it to ^Gend ^C Don't want it to ^Gend ^C Don't want it to ^Gend ^{C G C G}
