Seth Shapiro got his law degree
G                          D
He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93
Bm                      F#
Got some clients in the food industry
G                                     D
He says it’s not the money, it’s the recipes

             A              E
He calls his mom, says he’s doing fine
G                         D 
She’s got somebody on the other line
              A           E
Puts Coldplay on, pours a glass of wine
G                          B7
Curls up with a book about organized crime


[Chorus]

          G              D
When it’s late, and it’s hot
      A                         D               F#
And a date with the Late Show’s all that you’ve got
           G               D
Don’t give out, don’t give up
A                       F#                    Bm
One of these nights you might find someone to love

Bm                    F#
Beth McKenzie got the job of her dreams
G                       D
Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens
Bm                                F#
It’s Thursday night she should be out on the scene
G                                       D
But she’s sitting at home watching "The King of Queens"

                  A               E
There’s something wrong that she can’t describe
G                           D
She takes the contacts out of her eyes
          A         E
Sets the alarm for 6:45
G                       B7
So she can get a little exercise


[Chorus]

          G              D
When it’s late, and it’s hot
       A                         D                 F#
And an hour in the shower is the best that you've got
           G               D
Don’t give out, don’t give up
A                       F#                    Bm
One of these nights you might find someone to love

F# G D Bm F# G D


[Bridge]

And you’re not the only one who’s lonely x2


[Chorus]

Bm              F#
Seth Shapiro is trying in vain
G                     D
To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain
Bm                     F#
Beth McKenzie sees one just up ahead
G                            D
She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead
