[Verse 1]
Em         G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   In      days      of        peace,
Em         G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Sweet   smell-    ing       summer   nights
Em         G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Of      wine      and       song.
Em         G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Dusty   pave-     ment,     burning  feet.

Em              G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Why am I     cry-      ing? I    want to  know.
Em              G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   How can I    smile        and    make it  right
Em              G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   For sixty    days         and    eighty   nights,
Em              G                   Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   And not give in           and    lose the fight?

G         A           D
I'm going back to the ones that I know
     G          C         B
With whom I can be what I want to be.
G        A            D
Just one week for the feeling to go,
         G            A               D        Em
And with you there to help me then it probably will.

[Verse 2]
Em       G          Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   I-    won't go   down
Em       G          Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Ac-   ting   the same old play.
Em            G        Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Gave sixty days for just one night.
Em                 G                Am       Am/C     Am    Am G Em
   Don't think I'd make it, but I'd bet I-   might.
