E7 E
I was a poor little kid in the lungs
 of new York

Just like a motherless son of a 
bitch
A7                            
Loaded on ephedrine looking for 
  A           A7
downers and coke
       E                         
Like a sun that just wouldn't set 
              E7 E
out on the horizon
B7          A7           
Singing and dancing to them 
             E      E7 E
nighttime songs

[Verse]

E
I took a train and came up from 
Carolina

I was looking for something to do
A7
Nothing I found could ever quite 
occupy me
     E
With nothing to gain there's always 
nothing to lose
B7          A7           
Singing and dancing to them 
             E      E7 E
nighttime songs
B7       A7                     
Cry me a river till the morning 
E      E7 E
comes

[Verse]

E
I should've died a hundred thousand 
times

Teetering stoned off the side of 
buildings
A7
Nobody loved me and nobody even 
tried
    E7                             
You cant hang on to something that 
          E
wont stop moving
B7          A7           
Singing and dancing to them 
             E
nighttime songs

[Verse]

E
I got arrested down south for 
hitting a clerk

I spit in his face, the bastard 
knocked me out
   A7
He leered at my lady and then he 
touched her face
      E
Thank God she had the money to bail 
me out
B7          A7           
Singing and dancing to them 
             E
nighttime songs
B7       A7                     
Cry me a river till the morning 
E
comes

[Chorus]

A               A7               
Bar room boogie just like in the 
A
movies
A                  A7            
Go on put it to me shake it till 
    A            E7 E
the rattles come on
E7                              E
Take me where the morning don't come

[Verse]

E
I had a dog named Jet, when I was a 
kid

Until one day he wandered off and 
died
    A7
One night I went in the yard and dug
 him up
       E7                          
And he laid in the box just like a 
               E
pile of bones
B7          A7           
Singing and dancing to them 
             E
nighttime songs

[Verse]

E
I used to get loaded and baby Id 
drive your car

It seemed like there was always a 
cop
       A7
Coming behind me and following close
 as they could
       E
Eventually they'd just trail off
B7         A7            
Loaded and cruising to them 
             E
nighttime songs
B7       A7                     
Cry me a river till the morning 
E
comes

[Chorus]

A               A7               
Bar room boogie just like in the 
A
movies
A                  A7            
Go on put it to me shake it till 
    A            E7 E
the rattles come on
E7                              E
Take me where the morning don't come

[Verse]

E
I think I died a hundred thousand 
times

Mixing liquor with mystery pills
A7
Mystery pills and heroin mixed into 
cocaine
E                    E7 E E7
Face down out on the riverside
E
Most of my friends are married and 
making them babies

To most of them I already died
    A7
And whatever it is about you I've 
always hated
   E
Is something about myself I just 
couldn't hide
        B7    A7                  
And I'm going going baby I'm 
  E
almost gone

   A7                    A        
So cry me a river to the other 
         E
side of the morning
   E         E7            E
To where the morning don't come
   E         E7            E
To where the morning don't come
   E         E7            E
To where the morning don't come
