Lifes Too Short

A  A  A


[Verse 1]
A
Just outside of the dance hall door
A
Across the street from the hardware 
store.
D                                 
Its a full moon night, shining 
   A
like a big spot light.
A
She smiles and says I guess this is 
goodbye.

Says come on honey we still got 
time.
D                                  
The nights so long and I don't wanna
A
 spend it alone.

[Bridge]
E                         F#m
We can sit here and talk, We can go 
for a walk.
D                      A
If anybody Asked, I'll says it my 
fault.
E                           F#m
Driving around town till the break 
of dawn.
D                       D
Life's to short the nights too long.


[Chorus]
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
F#m
I don't care if its right or wrong.
D
Come the mornin' it might all be 
gone.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.


[Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
A
She smiles at him as the wind starts
 to blow.

She's old enough, old enough to 
know.
D                                 
What can happen in the dark, 
      A
between a couple of hearts.

He Says I guess you're right its 
getting kinda late.

He turns to walk away, she says No 
way!
D                                 
The nights so long and I don't 
     A
wanna spend it alone.


[Bridge]
E                         F#m
Standing outside of dance hall door.
D                      A
She said I've never taken anyone 
home before.
E                         F#m
He just smiled and said well come 
on.
D
Life's to short the nights too long.


[Chorus]
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
F#m
I don't care if its right or wrong.
D
Come the mornin' it might all be 
gone.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.

A
Life's to short the nights too long.
F#m
I don't care if its right or wrong.
D
Come the mornin' it might all be 
gone.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
