Staying Out Late

        A                     E   
        Stayin' out late in a 
       A
honky tonk bar
                    D         
        Findin' new ways to be 
  E
untrue
        A           D   E        
        Drinkin' my way through 
         A
this month's rent
                        E          
        Seems to be the best I can 
A
do

[Verse]
        A                        D
        Drunk and enraged and I'm 
showin' my age
          E                        
        I dreamt away my money and 
   A
my mind
        No woman to call wife, I got
    D
 no home to spend my life
            E                      
        And no desire for either at
      A
 this time

        I'm showin' no signs of 
        D
growing up at any time
        E                          
        I keep a firm grasp upon my
 A
 youth
        And the subtlety of love is 
          D
something I know nothing of

        E                          
        And I have got no concept 
      A
of the truth

[Chorus]
        A                     E   
        Stayin' out late in a 
       A
honky tonk bar
                    D         
        Findin' new ways to be 
  E
untrue
        A           D   E        
        Drinkin' my way through 
         A
this month's rent
                        E          
        Seems to be the best I can

[Bridge]
        E                 A
        It's all a matter of where 
you're going
        B                          
        I don't know where I'm 
       E
going from here

[Solo]
        A  D  E   A

[Verse]
        A                     
        Desperate ways seem to 
    D
control my every day
                 E                 
        And it's hard to understand
       A
 why I run
                              D
        But this poet's dance is my 
last chance
               E                   
        To lay down my pen and show
              A
 you how it's done

[Chorus]
        A                     E   
        Stayin' out late in a 
       A
honky tonk bar
                    D         
        Findin' new ways to be 
  E
untrue
        A           D   E        
        Drinkin' my way through 
         A
this month's rent
                        E          
        Seems to be the best I can 
A

        A                       E 
        Yeah it seems to be the 
         D   A D A D A
best I can do
