Lovers Lane

[Verse]
G
She used to be a dancer,
G
He used to be the man
Em                C
But now they seem to settle
                 G
For anything they can
G
And their children all have 
scattered
G
Far across the fruited plain
Em            C
Left behind a silence
                         G
That they just can't put away...
G
So she gave herself to Jesus
G
And that lasted 'bout a year
Em                         C
While he thought about that waitress
                    G
And cracked another beer...
G
And all that quiet resignation
G
Seemed like all they had to share
Em                          C
They keep moving' round each other
                     G
Like they ain't even there...

[Chorus]
D                C
What about that moonlight
G
What about that kiss
D                       C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D                                
And though the world keeps beatin' 
C
on 'em

Em                                
Ya know they might go through it 
   C
all again
G
All for one more night
D       C     G
Back on Lovers Lane...

[Verse]
G
He tried to be a good provider
G
He was a diehard union man
Em                               
But then the union told the rank and
C
 file
G
Boys, we've done all that we can
G
And so she watched him slowly vanish
G
Just like a shadow going down
Em                              C
You break the spirit of a working 
man
              G
Might as well, might as well put him
 in the ground...

[Chorus]
D                         C
What about that moonlight, tell me
G
What about that kiss
D                 C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D                                 
And though the world keeps beatin' 
C
on 'em
Em                              C
Ya know they might go through it all
 again
G
All for one more night
D      C      G

[Verse]
G
And when you take too much for 
granted
G
Pretty soon you find it gone
Em                 C
Like where did all the years go
                  G
And what the hell went on
G
And there's a hole deep in the 
country
G
And we're all listed day to day
Em                C
Used to fill that hole with dreams 
now
G
Seems it all just slipped away...

[Chorus]
D                      C
What about that moonlight, tell me
G
What about that kiss
D                       C
How did all those velvet nights
G
End up here like this
D                                 
And though the world keeps beatin'

Em                                
Ya know they might go through it all
