C                                     F
She lives her life in honky tonks and crowded backstreet bars

    G7                                  C              G7
The world of make believe that knows no sun or moon or stars

     C                                      F
Just a glitter of a great white way and the glare of city lights

      G7                                            C
Where music's loud she's in the crowd a girl in the night


  F                           C
I wonder if she's thinking of dreams that didn't last

  D7                         G7
I wonder if she's haunted by heartaches from the past

C                             F
Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn't right

    G7                                         C
Now shadows hide her empty pride a girl in the night


                                 F
She's sitting there so lonely as she lights a cigarette

    G7                                     C             G7
The smoke rings rise and in her eyes there seems to be regret

       C                             F
Is she there to tempt the lover in a dress that hugs her tight

  G7                                           C
A glass of wine to pass the time a girl in the nigh
