C                                F
"Don't you let the lessons stop, time ain't just hands on a clock" 
C                              G
That's what I'm gonna tell Pop when I leave 
C                            F
A vision on the lonely road, it's something that i gotta know: 
C                   G             C
If i can drive this car all on my own

C                                  F
I guess i'll leave my girl behind, I should have done that long ago 
C                                  G
Sometime I'm sure the pain will go away 
C                         F
It wasn't working anyhow, the burners on the stove burnt out 
C                G             C
A shame I didn't figure it out before 

Am            C                  F         C 
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down 
Am         F                G
Sing along with me before I go 
Am            C         F                    C
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the 
F                          G     C
Things that we ain't never gonna know 

C                             F
I met a man in San Francisco, he told me he did the same thing 
C                G
Fifty years ago, he left his girl behind 
C                                     F
He sits there in the park one hand is strumming his guitar 
C                        G        C
Songs he found inside a bottle of wine
C                                  F
I saw the same things on his face, the ones that made me race away from 
C                          G
everything i'd ever really known
C                         F                                  
the scare to take responsibility from here -and put her there-
C                          G            C    
Where everyone can see the seeds you've sown

Am            C                  F         C 
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down 
Am         F                G
Sing along with me before I go 
Am            C         F                    C
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the 
F                          G     C
Things that we ain't never gonna know

Am            C                  F         C 
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down 
Am         F                G

C
You know my line Joe?

C                                    F        
If you think about the Creature that you might have thought would teach you 
C                                                 G          
That our hearts are just the thing right from the start
C                                  F
It would keep us from the worries, safe from sound and safe from fury, 
C                                G       C
Safe at home besides the ones we know we loved
C                             F
If you told me from the start that I could never be apart from her, 
C                                        G
I'd tell you, "go to hell, get out of my way" 
C                                          F
But i've come back with my tail between my legs I didn't know the way 
C                G              C
A man can't be a man all on his own 

Am            C                  F         C 
Girls, gather round and let that long hair down 
Am         F                G
Sing along with me before I go 
Am            C         F                    C
Let us have a drink and by god, don't let us think about the 
F                          G     C
Things that we ain't never gonna know 

Am               C            F        C
The sun is going down on this lonesome town 
Am                 F          G
But I got you here to keep my company
Am               C       F                     C
You ever had the feeling that we're living for a reason? 
F                 G                  C
For that reason I won't ever let you go

For that reason I won't ever let you go 
F                 G                  Am
For that reason I won't ever let you go
C      F                 G                  C
       For that reason I won't ever let you go
