La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la
                  Em
La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la la la

[Verse]
             G                       Em
Couple young girls went sailing down A1A
               C                      D
To the arms of Florida sailing down a highway
              Em                            C
Singing their heads off, tainted by the Holy Ghosts
                   G                           D
Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes closed

[Chorus]
    C              D         Em
The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his way
C                D        G               D
Pretend he don't know you  the very next day
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em
How I still hang around here when there's nothing to hold me

[Verse]
               G                              Em
You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on your feet
                        C                         D
And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and thousands of days
                 Em                              C
And someone you never meet signs a check you get every week
                  G                                   D
You try and still can't forget all the strangers that you have met

[Chorus]
    C              D       Em
The night never owed you nothing anyway
C                      D                G          D
Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

[Bridge]
C                D                    Em
Every time every year the travelers come and go
                                C
You see them landing with their pale wings
                       D
And flying back to the snow

[Verse]
                     G                          Em
And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on
                  C                        D
Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A
                         Em                        C
The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking
               G                     D
Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping

[Chorus]
                 C             D       Em
And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way
C                   D                G              D
Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em       C
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

                  Em
La la la la la la la
                  C         D
La la la la la la la la la
