g                     e      
it gets lonliest at night
                     d       
down at the liquor store
             c             
beneath the neon sky

our moonlight
g                                    e             
six a.m. the floor comes alive with lice
                       d        
the pans dried up so tight
                c        
with hardened beans
          g  f#       
were hungry
        e              d        
so i lean on you sometimes
         c   
just to see youre still there
g                                   e               
youre feet cant take the weight of one
           d      
much less two
        c           
we hit concrete
e             g             c            
how were we born into this mess
e          g            a         c         
i know i painted you a prettier picture,baby
e            g            c                      
but we were run out on a rail
e               g           a     c           
fell from the wagon to the night train



CHORUS  PLAY 4X . 

i kissed the bottle
i should 've been kissing you
you wake up to an empty night
with tears for two

g                         e       
cigarettes they fill the gaps
              d        
in our empty days
                c         
in our broken teeth

we're jonesing
g                            e               
say mister, can you spare a dime
                           d                 
some change could make a change
                c          
could buy some time
                   g  f#
some freedom
       e               d             
or an ear to hear my story
                 c
it's all i've got
            g                         e             
my fiction beats the hell out of my truth
                       d            
a palm upturned burnt blue
             c                   
dont call it sunburn
e             g             c           
you've been shaking on the job
g          a         e             c                                    
just one drink ahead of your past
 e            g              c         
there's a white light coming up
g             a             e           c             
you draw the blinds hoping it'll pass


CHORUS PLAY 8X

i kissed the bottle
i should've been kissin you
you wake up to an empty night
with tears for two
tears for two
