Street Lights (Jason Isbell)

Intro:
G  Asus2  C7  G x2

G                       Asus2
Where's that angel with dirty knees
           C7                           G
Who wasn't hard to please when we first met
G                      Asus2
She don't act like she needs me now
              C7                G
And she don't even seem to be upset

G             Asus2
Maybe I cover too much ground,
               C7                        G
I've been from town to town since I grew up
G                       Asus2
Could my dreams take up too much space?
           C7                        G
I'll never find a place that's big enough

Chorus:
G9    Em7     G          Dsus2
The chairs go up on the bar now
        Em7     G       Dsus2
And the table lights go black
     Em7    G       Dsus2
So I order one last double
                         Cadd9
And start calling people back

G                           Asus2
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard
           C7                           G
he couldn't punch a card to save his life
G                       Asus2
Say's he's glad that he quit the road
               C7                         G
He say's he's getting old and missed his wife
G                 Asus2
Little Em's been asleep since nine
               C7                     G
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is
G                    Asus2
Dad won't answer his phone at night
             C7                           G
But I guess that's alright, the place is his

Chorus:
G9       Em7       G         Dsus2
And the chairs are up on the bar now
          Em7     G      Dsus2
And they're asking me to leave
      Em7      G     Dsus2
So I give the girl a bill
                           Cadd9
And start rolling down my sleeves

G                  Asus2
In my pocket, directions back
            C7                           G
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
G                   Asus2
Maybe I should wave down a car
            C7                      G
I won't be going far, and I've got cash
G                      Asus2
Think I blocked just a park away
            C7                           G
But I can't really say, it's been all night
G                     Asus2
How I wish you would call me here
             C7                       G
but you just disappeared, it wasn't right

Chorus:
G9       Em7         G      Dsus2
And the Streetlights help a little
            Em7    G    Dsus2
But they're barely half alive
       Em7        G        Dsus2
And I don't feel much like walking
                     Cadd9
I sure as hell can't drive

G                     Asus2
Close your eyes and remember this
            C7                        G
It won't be back again, it's almost gone
G                    Asus2
Even times that don't seem like much
             C7                       G
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
G                           Asus2
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
             C7                       G
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
G                    Asus2
Pretty soon you'll remember when
            C7                         G
You could remember when, you loved someone

G9  Em7  G  Dsus2
    Em7  G  Dsus2

Intro

Where's that angel with dirty knees
Who wasn't hard to please when we first met
She don't act like she needs me now
And she don't even seem to be upset

Maybe I cover too much ground,

Could my dreams take up too much space?
I'll never find a place that's big enough

The chairs go up on the bar now
And the table lights go black
So I order one last double
And start calling people back

Marc sounds good, he's been working hard
he couldn't punch a card to save his life
Say's he's glad that he quit the road
He say's he's getting old and missed his wife
