G                C                            D
AS THE CAFÉ WAS CLOSING ON A WARM SUMMERS NIGHT

    C            D            G
AND KATHY WAS CLEANING THE SPOONS

    C                 G                 A                        D
THE RADIO PLAYED THE HIT PARADE AND I HUMMED ALONG WITH THE TUNE

C                 D           G                  C                     D
SHE ASKED ME TO CHANGE THE STATION SAID THE SONG JUST DROVE HER INSANE

        G                     C            D                      G
BUT IT WASN'T THE MUSIC PLAYING IT WAS ME SHE WAS TRYING TO BLAME

AND THE SKY IS BLACK AND STILL NOW ON THE HILL WHERE THE ANGELS SING

          C                         G                          D       G
AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW AN OLD BROKEN BOTTLE LOOKS JUST LIKE A DIAMOND RING

          C    D       G
BUT IT'S FAR FAR FROM ME.



G                      C                             D
WELL I LEANED ON MY LEFT LEG IN THE PARKING LOT DIRT

    C           D            G
AND KATHY WAS CLOSING THE LIGHTS

  C                       G                           A                            D
A JUNE BUG FLEW FROM THE WARMTH IT ONCE KNEW AND I WISHED FOR ONCE I WEREN'T RIGHT

    C            D       G                C                 D
WHY WE USED TO LAUGH TOGETHER AND WE'D DANCE TO ANY OLD SONG

         G                      C                D                        G
WELL YA KNOW SHE STILL LAUGHS WITH ME BUT SHE WAITS JUST A SECOND TO LONG


CHORUS


G                   C                            D
WELL I STARTED THE ENGINE AND I GAVE IT SOME GAS

    C          D            G
AND KATHY WAS CLOSING HER PURSE

    C                       G                     A                     D
WE HADN'T GONE FAR IN MY BEAT UP OLD CAR AND I WAS PREPARED FOR THE WORSE

 C                D        G            C                        D
"WILL YOU STILL SEE ME TOMORROW?"  "NO, I'VE GOT TOO MUCH TO DO"

       G                          C             D                G
WELL A QUESTION AIN'T REALLY A QUESTION IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO
