_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A]
The hurricane party's winding [D] [E] down and we're all waiting for [A] the end.
_ _ [D] _ _ And [A] I don't want another drink.
[E] I only want that last [A] one again.
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] It gave me such a fine glow, [D] smoky and slow.
[A] Now I should probably be [E] homeward bound. _
But [A] there's no one to talk to [E] when the lines go down.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] I guess in the morning [D] I'll go look in [E] the Pimac [A] gray striped cat.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] My old house can take the weather, so I'm [E] not too concerned [A] about that. _ _ _ _ _
It [E] was built to take the wind [D] back in _
[A] 1910 when this was one damn [E] fine [F#] town.
But [A] now there's no one to talk [D] to [E] when the [A] lines go down. _ _ _ _
The candles flickered on the back bar and the building [E] was shaking [A] with the wind.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] I bought a whiskey for the gypsy and she turned [E] my leather back [A] into skin. _ _ _
_ Just [E] a bleeding sensor, [D] that rare suspense [A] I once thought made the world [E] go round.
[F#] But now [A] there's no one to talk to [E] when the lines [A] go down. _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Open up [D] your back [A] screen door.
[E] _ Let me see [D] your face [A] once more.
[E] My hands are [D] cold and my feet [A] so sore [F#m] and I can't go [E] on this _ way.
_ And the thoughts come too [A] fast and too many to keep [D] count.
[E] Best just let them all [A] improve.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] Now I'm breaking those old glass insulators [E] with my old [A] 22.
_ _ _ _ _ Off [E] the telephone poles of [D] the half dollar [C#m] rolls to [A] cross the knuckles of a rodeo [E] clown.
_ [F#] There's [A] just no one to talk to [D] _ [E] when the lines [A] go down.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
And my one great love, my God [E] I can feel [A] it still.
_ _ [D] _ _ She [A] ran off to California, [D] now she's made [E] it in those [A] Hollywood hills. _ _ _ _
[E] With some gopher prince [D] I have not seen [A] her since.
Though she calls when he's [E] out of town. _
[A] And there's no one to talk [D] to [E] when the [A] lines go down.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ Open up [A] your back screen [E] door.
Let me in [D] your space [A] once more.
[E] I was looking for an [A] easy score.
[F#m] But it just don't [E] work that way. _
_ [B] _ _ [A] Some insurance [B] man biker is yelling [E] out for one [A] more beer. _ _
[D] _ _ _ But a part time pirate [D] just can't [E] get much respect [A] around here. _ _
[D] _ _ [A] We [E] got our problems too [D] man and we'll get to you [A] in just a minute.
Sit your drunk [E] ass down.
_ [A] Yeah there's no one to talk to _ [E] when the [A] lines go down. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now [A] there's water up past the wheel [D] wells of my [E] Ford and I don't guess it'll [A] run.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] But I left a pack of Winston's on [D] the [E] dash, could you fetch them [A] for me son?
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] The [E] morning's first cigarette [A] that's as good as it gets all day.
I should know by [E] now _ [A] that there's no one to talk to [D] _ [E] when the lines [A] go down.
