Start Jamming...
[D] It's hard to stay [A] inside, [D] my bar calls [G] your name
[D]
Pretty [A] soon the hotel room is gonna [Bm]
drive me [G] insane
[D] So I'm gonna [A] hit the streets tonight, [D] make my way [G] towards the neon [D] lights
And order [A] drinks and a downtown dive, [Bm] till I forget my [G] name
[Bm] If I make it out alive, [A] I'll call you know [G] I will
[Bm] If I can just [A]
survive [Em] one more night [A] in [D]
Jacksonville
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [Bm]
[G] [D] Well the powder [A] picks me up, [D] and the pills they pull [G] me down
[D] The evening [A] ends, they're the only friends [Bm] that seem to stick around
[G] [D] I think I'll spend the rest of [A] my days, [D]
poisonin' [G] my veins
[D] And keep livin' the lie [A] that rock and roll's alive, [Bm] that things are gonna [G] change
If
[Bm] I make it out alive, [A] I'll call you know [G] I will
[Bm] If I can just [A] survive one [Em] more [A] night in [D] Jacksonville
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [Bm]
[G] I [D] spent the better [A] part of my early twenties, [D]
medicated [G] and always runnin'
[D] From the man [A] that my mama [Bm] wanted me to [G] be
See [D] the nights grew longer [A] and harder to remember, [D]
another show, [G] another bartender
[D]
Another [A] face, another place, [Bm] that'll fade away with [G] time
[Bm] If I make it out alive, [A] I'll call you know [G] I will
[Bm] If I can just [A] survive one [G] more [A] night in [D]

I'm
[A] [G]
[D]
[A] just a passin' [G] ship [D] in the dark, never stay [A] till the mornin'
It [G] makes leavin' [D] too hard, [Bm]
I've [A] made a livin' [G] breakin' young [D] girls' hearts
But it ain't no fun [A] when your heart's the one that starts [G] fallin' [D] apart
Spend the [A] day, [G] turns to night, [D] and the [A] path is hard [G] to find
[A]
Won't you be my [D] northern light?
[A] [G]
[D]
[A]
[G] [D]
Anything [A] I've ever loved, [G] I found a way to [D] lose
Anything [A] I've ever lost, [B] I found an [D] excuse
So [Bm] don't give up [A] on me, babe, if it's [G] the last thing [D] you do
Don't cut the [A] strings of the only things [G] I'm holdin' [D] on to
So when my [A] day turns [G] to night, [D] and the [A]
path is [G] hard to find
[A] Won't you be my [D] northern light?

[G] [D]
[A] [G]
[D] [Bm]
[A] I'm tired of [D] runnin' away
[G] [D]
[Bm] I'm [A] tired of lettin' [D] you [G] down
[D]
[Bm] [A] I'm just hopin' there's a [D] way [G] [D] we [A] [F#m]
can turn this [A] ship around
Cause when [D] my [A] day [G] turns to night,
[D] and the [A] path is [G] hard to find
[A] Won't you be my northern [D] light?
