Staying Out Late

A E A Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar D E Findin' new ways to be untrue A D E A Drinkin' my way through this month's rent E A Seems to be the best I can do A D Drunk and enraged and I'm showin' my age E A I dreamt away my money and my mind D No woman to call wife, I got no home to spend my life E A And no desire for either at this time D I'm showin' no signs of growing up at any time E A I keep a firm grasp upon my youth D And the subtlety of love is something I know nothing of E A And I have got no concept of the truth A E A Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar D E Findin' new ways to be untrue A D E A Drinkin' my way through this month's rent E A Seems to be the best I can do A D E A E A It's all a matter of where you're going B E I don't know where I'm going from here A D E A A D Desperate ways seem to control my every day E A And it's hard to understand why I run D But this poet's dance is my last chance E A To lay down my pen and show you how it's done A E A Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar D E Findin' new ways to be untrue A D E A Drinkin' my way through this month's rent E A Seems to be the best I can do A E D A D A D A Yeah it seems to be the best I can do
