[Verse 1]
Well I [G]was
standing at the junction

[G]Drinking some cheap red wine
I asked how she was [C]do ing
[G]She sai[C]d she was doing fin[F]e[C]

[A]for a ci[D]garette[Dm][D]
[F]I recognis[C]ed the signs

I knew just what she [G]wanted
[D]And I swe[Em]ar it wasn't lov[F]e
She just needed [C]something to
keep her head [F]above

[Verse 3]
[G]wat[C]er
Try to [G]make it through the [C]night

[G]A rainy night at a s[C]tation
In an old, out the way [F]hotel[C]
[D]The kind of [G]place to make you fee[D]l
[G]One stop away from [A]hell[Em][G]
Where the angels meet the drift[C]ers[G]
And [C]many strong men [D]fell
I asked her if she had a name
[Dm]She said[F] call me J[C]ezebel
[G][A]

[Verse 5]

And I [Em]swear it wasn't [F]love
She just needed [C]something to
keep her head [F]above
[C]Hell and high

Try to [G]make it through the [C]night
Hell and [G]high[C]water
Sometimes it's [G]hard to keep

Well the [F]girl's just trying to
keep her [C]head above
Hell and high[G]water
[C][G][D][G][C][G]

I picked up my suitcase
I was heading for the door
When a voice behind with a scarlet smile
Said, [F]"Honey you'll [G]be back for more"
