[Verse 1]
    G          (G/D)            Cadd9        G
Six rain ridden summers, and he still had an eye for me,
   Cadd9          G                         Dsus4
He kissed me each evening, and told me he'd die for me,
             Em7     D/F#    G             Cadd9      G
And then he...   ran off the road, full of whisky and irony,
G         Dsus4               C         Cadd9
He always meant what he said------!  |  /   /   /  |

[Verse 2]
   G        (G/D)       Cadd9        G
So I took to whisky, so I could re - call...
       Cadd9        G                            Dsus4
...The taste of his mouth ...on my mouth, that's all,
      Em7       D/F# G            Cadd9         G
And I tried the same trick with a truck, but it stalled,
      G        Dsus4   D   C  (C/B) (C/A)   G     (G/F#) 
The engine was better off dead!          |  /   /   /  |

[Chorus]
Em7     Gmaj7/B     Cadd9            G
    Oh, how     the nights are long------,
       Cadd9   G      D        (D/A)(D/B)(D/C)
Though life is longer still,  |  /    /    /  |
Em7     Gmaj7/B     Cadd9            G
    Oh, how     the nights are long------,
         G   (G/A) (G/B) Dsus4 D   C  (C/B) (C/A)
But the sun's com - in'  over  the hill

[Break]
   G            D4           Cadd9           C (C/B)(C/G)

[Verse 3]
    G                   (G/D)       Cadd9                   G
The taste never left me,      and I don't think it will,
       Cadd9        G         (G)     (G/A)(G/B) Dsus4
And it caused me to supplement whisk - y    with pills,
              Em7       D/F# G            Cadd9             G
But there was something in - side ...that I couldn't kill,
     G           Dsus4  D            C
Be - lieve me, I really did ...try!

[Verse 4]
            G             (G/D)
And there's some say, 'You get what you deserve',
Cadd9                     G
       But they're wrong,
               Cadd9            G         G   (G/A)(G/B)Dsus4
Sometimes, you get what you're given, and then it's all gone,
            Em7     D/F# G                 Cadd9            G
And you are lucky,  if   you are ...suff - iciently strong----,
    G         Dsus4 D      C  (C/B) (C/A)    G     (G/F#)
To daily de - cide  not to die            |  /   /   /  |

[Chorus]

Though life is longer still,  |  /    /    /  |

[Verse 6]
   G               (G/D)        Cadd9               G
I can't say there's many things I wouldn't change,
          Cadd9       G                             D4
There are better days gone than those that remain,
    Em7   D/F# G          Cadd9               G
But I can find joy in the sound of the rain,
    G            Dsus4  D         Cadd9    C (C/B)(C/A)
You have to find joy    where you can!  |  /   /   /  |
