Midnight [F#] in the big city,
[B] at the [F#] bar drinking all [F#] on my own.
Just thinking about that girl and me,
[C#] how [B] something's going [D#m] wrong.
[F] [F#]
Mr.
Town, what's my saving grace?
The backroom boys are all telling [C#] me, [B] we're borderline [D#m] thieves.

Back [A#m] on the [G#] [C#] borderlands one [F#] more time.

[C#]
[F#] Seven years and [F#] still sober, [B]
it's time [F#] to change to something stronger.
[B]
I cannot take this [F#] thief no longer, [C#]
she's gonna [B] throw [D#m] me in the hole.
[A#m] Back in my [F#] hometown,
[B] the old place it's [F#] still the same.
But town can cast a spell over someone, [C#] when you [B] say I'm going [D#m] back to you.

filled me [F#] another,

[F#] Just pass that bottle one more time.
[C#]
[B] Slow [D#m] it down, slow it down.
