A
Walking down the road
C#
Headed to the show
Bm
The night is so young
         D7        E
And the bottle is full

A
Line up in a row
C#
We're shuffling in
Bm
The bar is too full
            D7        E
So we wait out in the cold

The music is loud and the
Lighting is low
The women are shaking and
Moving on the floor

The singer is yelling bout the
Women who left
And I'm in the back getting
Drunk with my friends

Chorus:
A
And this is
C#
All I need
D
To get me through
Bm   E
The city blues
A
And this is
E
Good for me
D
Give me a swig
Bm   E
And let it be

Way up here
You'll find me
It's 12 in the morning
I'm lifted off

Substance
We're chasing that taxi
You look so fine
You must know

You make me go crazy
Well I don't know
If it will last
But I'm gonna let you have me

Chorus - x2

F#m            A           D       Bm
Who knows how many nights I'll be stuck here
F#m            A           D       Bm
Who knows how many nights I'll be stuck
F#m            A           D       Bm
Who knows how many nights I'll be stuck here
F#m            A           D       Bm
Who knows how many nights I'll be stuck
