[Verse 1]
[G]Que[D]en[C][G][D][C][G]
size mattress on [C]an old oak [G]floor
And I don't [D]see the need in clos
[C]ing the screen [G]door
I wanna hear the [D]birds
when the day [C]finally comes
[G]How I fear all my [D]days of being
[C]young are [G]done
We're only [D]just begun
[G][Em]

[Verse 2]
How [D]close can a man come
[C]to God before [G]dy in'?
'Bout as close as you were,
[C]when you were tryin'
[G]To shade the sun fro[D]m your eyes on the cre[C]ek's edge,
[G]darling
There's a bar around [D]the bend a [Em]man
is [D]bending blues gui[G]tar in

[Verse 3]
[G]
When the day is [C]done[G]
And those neon [D]lights call you [Em]home
You'll be beggin' for a sa[C]vior
To let you sa[G]vor
The sav[D]age times of twenty- [Em]so
When the night is [C]through[G]
And those American [D]girls are
headed [Em]home
You'll be beggin' of your sa[C]vior
To let [G]you save her
From [D]the sweet nights of twenty-
so
[Em][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And I [D]know how hard it is to
[C]love a boy like [G]me
With my dry sense of [D]hu mor and my
[C]reckless tenden[G]cies
But not all [D]labor is [C]done with
hardened [G]hands
You've been chompin' at the bit
just to love [C]an honest man
[G]

[Verse 5]
So when [D]the day [C]is done
[G]And those neon lig[D]hts call you hom[Em]e
You'll be beggin' of a sa[C]vior
To let you sa[G]vor
The sav[D]age times of twenty- [Em]so
When the night is [C]through
[G]And those American [D]girls
are headed [Em]home
You'll be beggin' of your sa[C]vior
To let [G]you save her
From [D]the sweet nights of twenty- so
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D]
[Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
So when the day is [C]done
[G]And those neo[D]n lights call you hom[Em]e
You'll be beggin' for your sa[C]vior
To let you sa[G]vor
The sav[D]age times of twenty- [Em]So
When the night is [C]through
[G]And those American gir[D]ls are
headed [Em]home
You'll be beggin' of your sa[C]vior
To let [G]you save her
From [D]the sweet nights of twenty- [Em]so
