[Intro]
G Cadd9 Em7 D (x2)
[Verse]
G Cadd9
Well we thought we were good at being cool.
Em7 D G
And we thought we had learned how to live like men
Cadd9
Drinking beer on the back porch
Em7 D
Smoking blues one after another
G Cadd9
Calling out to the pretty babies
Em7 D
Dancing out under them street lights
G Cadd9
Praying to whatever Gods we had, oh
Em7 D Cadd9 D
Honey don’t let me be alone again tonight
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Yeah as much as we love this town
Em7 D
.....Hell it always had a way
G Cadd9 Em7 D
Of bringing us right back down
[Verse]
G Cadd9
Well I had my eye on a pretty girl
Em7 D
Once in a while she was looking back at me
G Cadd9
She’d come and go like the CTA
Em7 D
Every time I had her, well I thought she’d stay
G Cadd9
Lost her Daddy when she was young
Em7 D
I’d get close but in the morning she’d be gone
G Cadd9
She told me I reminded her of him
Em7 D Cadd9 D
I bet she tells the other boys the same damn thing
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Yeah as much as we love this town
Em7 D
.....Hell it always had a way
G Cadd9 Em7 D
Of bringing us right back down
G Cadd9
Yeah as much as we love this town
Em7 D
.....Hell it always had a way
G Cadd9 Em7 D Dsus4 D
Of bringing us right back down
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
Yeah well you go your way
D Cadd9
And I’ll go mine
G D
Drive down the coast in the summer
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
Midwestern boys out on our own
G D
Headed for a life of treasure
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
Two-Hearted Ale running through my veins
G D Cadd9
Thoughts of this room running through my brain
G D Cadd9
Heading out when the morning comes
G D Dsus4 D
And brother it’s been a good run
[Verse]
G
Well them late night talks probably saved our lives
Em7 D Cadd9 D
Looking up at that Illinois Sky
Cadd9 D
Oh that Illinois sky
Cadd9 D
Oh that Illinois sky
Cadd9 D G
Oh that Illinois sky
