Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
I'm walkin' [F#m]through
[D]the[Bm] summer nights
[D]Juk[A]ebo[D]x playing low[Bm][D]
Yesterday everything [Bm]was
goin' too [D]fast
Today [A]it's moving [D]too [Bm]slow
[A]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I got [C]no place left [G]to turn[C][G]
I got [C]nothing left to [G]burn[A][D]
Don't know if I saw you
[Bm]If I would kiss you or k[D]ill you
It probably wouldn't matter
to you [Bm]anyhow[D][G]
You left [D]me standin' in the [A]doorway cryin'
[E]I g[G]ot nothing to go back to now
[D]

[Verse 3]
Maybe they'll get me,
[F#m]and ma[Bm]ybe they won't[D]
But not tonight and it won't
[Bm]be here[D]
There are things that [Bm]I could say [D]but I don't
I know the mer[A]cy of God
must be [Bm]near
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
I've been rid[C]in' the midnight [G]train[C]
[G]I got ice water in [C]my vei[G]ns[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]I would be crazy if I took you[Bm] back[D]
It would go up [A]against [Bm]any rule[D]
[G]You left me [D]standin' in the
[A]doorway cry[E]in'[G]

[Interlude 1]
Sufferin' like a fool
[D]
[A]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][D]

[Verse 6]
When the last rays [D]of
daylight go [Bm]down[D]
Buddy you're older [Bm]no more[A][D]
I can hear church bells ringin' in the [Bm]yard
[D]I wonder who they're
ringin' [A]for
[Bm][A]

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh I know I [C]can't [G]win[C]
[G]But my heart,
[C]it just won't give in
[G][A]

[Verse 8]
[D]
I see nothin' to be gained by [Bm]any
[D]explanation[A][D]
There are no words that need
[Bm]to be [Asus4]said[G]
You left [D]me standin' in the
[A]doorway cry[E]in'[G]

[Outro 1]
Blues wrapped around my head
[D][Bm][D][A]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm][A][D]
[A][D][Bm][D]
