[Verse 1]
G (G/D) Cadd9G
Six rain ridden summers, and he still had an eye for me,
Cadd9GDsus4
He kissed me each evening, and told me he'd die for me,
Em7D/F#GCadd9G
And then he... ran off the road, full of whisky and irony,
GDsus4CCadd9
He always meant what he said------! | / / / |
[Verse 2]
G (G/D) Cadd9G
So I took to whisky, so I could re - call...
Cadd9GDsus4
...The taste of his mouth ...on my mouth, that's all,
Em7D/F#GCadd9G
And I tried the same trick with a truck, but it stalled,
GDsus4DC (C/B) (C/A) G (G/F#)
The engine was better off dead! | / / / |
[Chorus]
Em7Gmaj7/BCadd9G
Oh, how the nights are long------,
Cadd9GD (D/A)(D/B)(D/C)
Though life is longer still, | / / / |
Em7Gmaj7/BCadd9G
Oh, how the nights are long------,
G (G/A) (G/B) Dsus4DC (C/B) (C/A)
But the sun's com - in' over the hill
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G (G/D) Cadd9G
The taste never left me, and I don't think it will,
Cadd9G (G) (G/A)(G/B) Dsus4
And it caused me to supplement whisk - y with pills,
Em7D/F#GCadd9G
But there was something in - side ...that I couldn't kill,
GDsus4DC
Be - lieve me, I really did ...try!
[Verse 4]
G (G/D)
And there's some say, 'You get what you deserve',
Cadd9G
But they're wrong,
Cadd9GG (G/A)(G/B)Dsus4
Sometimes, you get what you're given, and then it's all gone,
Em7D/F#GCadd9G
And you are lucky, if you are ...suff - iciently strong----,
GDsus4DC (C/B) (C/A) G (G/F#)
To daily de - cide not to die | / / / |
[Chorus]
Em7Gmaj7/BCadd9G
Oh, how the nights are long------,
Cadd9GD (D/A)(D/B)(D/C)
Though life is longer still, | / / / |
Em7Gmaj7/BCadd9G
Oh, how the nights are long------,
G (G/A) (G/B) Dsus4DC (C/B) (C/A) G
But the sun's com - in' over the hill! | / / / |

[Verse 6]
G (G/D) Cadd9G
I can't say there's many things I wouldn't change,
Cadd9GD4
There are better days gone than those that remain,
Em7D/F#GCadd9G
But I can find joy in the sound of the rain,
GDsus4DCadd9C (C/B)(C/A)
You have to find joy where you can! | / / / |
[Chorus]
Em7Gmaj7/BCadd9G
Oh, how the nights are long-------,

Though life is longer still, | / / / |

But the sun's com - in' over the hill...
