Am
Look for a sign in the window
G
An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
Am
Tie on an apron for change in my pocket
G
To spend at the shops and study the docket
Am
I can be honest, I can respond
G
Hold my own and take on what comes
Save it for later, be restrained
Make up my mind, then want to change it
Chorus
F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Em
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
F
And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
Em
Find my page and turn them again and again
2nd Verse
Am
Oh, I guess I got lost
G
I must have forgotten, it\'s just been so hot
Am
I make all my choices on coins I can toss
G
Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots
Am
And I can be honest, I can be strong
G
Wait for all those letters to come
Am
Peel off the labels, check the dates
G
Order my days and then re-arrange them
Chorus
F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Em
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
F
And these little thoughts they buzz like a train
Em
Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
