Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
G D C G
G D C G
[Verse 1]
G D C G
Queen size mattress on an old wood oak floor
G D C G
And I don't see the need in closin' a screen door
G D C G
I wanna hear the birds when the day finally comes
G D C G D G
I fear all my days of bein' young are done, we're only just begun
[Verse 2]
G D C G
How close can a man come to God before dyin'?
G D C G
About as close as you were when you were tryin'
G D C G
To shade the sun from your eyes on the creek's edge darlin'
G D C G
There's a bar 'round the bend a man is bendin' blues guitarin'
[Chorus]
C G
When the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You'll be beggin' of a Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The sad times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You'll be beggin' of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
[Break]
G D C G
G D C G
[Verse 3]
G D C G
And I know how hard it is to love a boy like me
G D C G
With my dry sense of humour and my reckless tendencies
G D C G
But not all labour's done with hardened hands
G D C G
You been chompin' at the bit, just to love an honest man
[Chorus]
C G
When the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You'll be beggin' of a Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The sad times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You'll be beggin' of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
[Break]
C G D Em
C G D Em
C G D Em
C G D Em
[Chorus]
C G
So when the day is done
D Em
And those neon lights call you home
C G
You'll be beggin' for your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
The savage times of twenty-so
C G
When the night is through
D Em
And those American girls are headed home
C G
You'll be beggin' of your Saviour to let you save her
D Em
From the sweet nights of twenty-so
Queen-size mattress on an old oak floor
And I don't see the need in closing the screen door
I wanna hear the birds when the day finally comes
How I fear all my days of being young are done
Or only just begun
How close can a man come to God before dyin'?
'Bout as close as you were, when you were tryin'
To shade the sun from your eyes on the creek's edge, darling
There's a bar around the bend a man is bending blues guitar in
But when the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' of your savior
To let you savor
The savage times of Twenty-So
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior
To let you save her
From the sweet nights of Twenty-So
And I know how hard it is to love a boy like me
With my dry sense of humor and my reckless tendencies
But not all labor is done with hardened hands
You've been chompin' at the bit just to love an honest man
So when the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' of your savior
To let you savor
The savage times of Twenty-So
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior
To let you save her
From the sweet nights of Twenty-So
So when the day is done
And those neon lights call you home
You'll be beggin' for your savior
To let you savor
The savage times of Twenty-So
When the night is through
And those American girls are headed home
You'll be beggin' of your savior
To let you save her
From the sweet nights of Twenty-So
