E
Dawn patrol is makin' the rounds
E
Been goin' at it since the sun went down
        A
I'll be sleepin' it off from
  C                        E
Another night of tyin' one on
B7                                  A
The sun is risin' and I'm layin' low
A
Been compromisin' my get up and go
         E
And I'll be burnin' it up
          B7                     E
Till both ends of the candle are gone

[Chorus]
              A                     E
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
A                              G  D/F# E
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
A                     E
You might not see the scars
         C
But this nightlife's beatin'
    B7               E
The daylights out of me

[Instrumental Break]
A E A G D/F# E
A E A C B7 E

[Verse]
E
Out on the town
E
Like the night before
E
Just when I thought
E
I couldn't go one more
    G
The sun sets down
  D/F#              E
I get up and do it again
B7
Night lights are callin'
      B7
And I can't turn 'em down
A
I've been revolvin' on
     A                     E
This merry-go-round for so long
       E
And to know where tomorrow starts
B7                E
And when today'll end

[Chorus]
              A                     E
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
A                              G  D/F# E
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
A                     E
You might not see the scars
         C
But this nightlife's beatin'
    B7               E
The daylights out of me

[Instrumental Break]
A E A G D/F# E
A E A C B7 E
A E A G D/F# E
A E A C B7 E

[Chorus]
              A                     E
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
A                              G  D/F# E
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
A                     E
You might not see the scars
         C
But this nightlife's beatin'
    B7               E
The daylights out of me

[Outro]
          C
Lord this nightlife's beatin'
    B7               E
The daylights out of me
     C
This nightlife's beatin'
    B7               E
The daylights out of me...
