[Verse 1]
D G A
One more night in a transatlantic city
G D A
And the clocks all run on someone else's time
A G D
And the streets run so close to the houses
G A
But none of them run into mine
[Verse 2]
Bm G D
And the people are all in a hurry
Bm G D
And the whiskey's as cheap as the beer
G D G
And that skyline looks just like that postcard I sent you
Em G D
And darling, I wish that you were here
[Verse 3]
F C
Some folks travel for pleasure
F C
And other folks just born to roam
F C
Some folks can't stand the pressure
E A
And some of them never come home
[Verse 4]
D G A
And I only go where I have to go
G D
And I only come home when I'm done
G D G
And if everything's right, then I'll be home Friday night
D A D
Six hours ahead of the sun

D G A
One more night in a transatlantic city
D G A
And you buy one round for everyone in sight
G D
And you order up the same old glass of trouble
G Em A
But trouble just don't taste the same tonight
[Verse 6]
Bm G D
And the local bartender tells you all the stories
Bm G D
And the local lovelies dance before your eyes
G D G
And they call that dance old "Younger's Tartan"
Em G A
And I can't get all this mud out of my eyes
[Verse 7]
F C
Some folks drink when they're happy
F C
Other folks drink when they're dry
F C
Some folks drink so they won't have to think
E A
And some of them drink until they die
[Verse 8]
D G A
But drinking just gives me amnesia
G D A
But the devil has a list of those who run
G D G
Run, win, place, and show, and nowhere to go
D A D
And six hours ahead of the sun
G D G
Run, win, place, and show and nowhere to go
D A F F C C D D D D F F C C D D D D F F C C D D D D
And six hours ahead of the s- u- n- (six hours) (six hours)
