(intro) G  C  G  C

        G                                 Am
As past times go I guess I've seen some good
D                                          G
It's not always the best ones come and stay
C                                      G
There's a crowd that thinks there is one
             Am
And it should
                     F                G           C
Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way

(refrão)
                D
And they call it winding down
        G                         F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C                                 F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C                             G    C
Describe the days events and go on home
              D
And it's likely they won't drown
          G                      F
The price goes up and one more round
          C                     F
They close up all the bars downtown
            C                       G    C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
G                                          Am
It seems like the same ole motions every night
                   D                           G
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
             C                       G         Am
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
                F                   G          C
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track

(refrão)
D                                 G
Honky tonk heroes are turn the page
              F               C
And the books are closed tonight
                             G         F
Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up
               G                        C
So they'll go home feeling right
                F                     G
You gotta leave'em up so they'll go home
              C
Feeling right
