[Intro]
E F# F# A B A E B x2
[Verse 1]
E C#m7
It's too late for a night cap
G#m7 C#m7
(It's) Too soon to go home
F#m7
I'm too wiped out to party
B Bsus
But, I don't want to be alone
E C#m7
I'm too rough for romance
G#m7 C#m7
Too smooth to resist
F#m7
I'm too wild for one woman
B
But I could sure use a kiss
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
I never dance until dawn
G#7 C#m7
I'll never really feel at home
G#m7 Amaj
I'll never lay around stoned all summer long again
E
I finally understand
B Bsus Asus2 E
Where the pavement ends, And mere mortal men
[Verse 2]
E C#m7
I'm too poor to be a playboy
G#m7 C#m7
(I'm) Too proud to be bought
F#m7
Too slow to make trouble
B
And too fast to get caught
E C#m7
I'm too old to be a soldier
G#m7 C#m7
Too blissed out to fight
F#m7
(I'm) Too drunk to be driving
B
And too smart to try
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
I never dance until dawn
G#7 C#m7
I'll never really feel at home
G#m7 Amaj
I'll never lay around stoned all summer long again
E
I finally understand
B Bsus Asus2 E
Where the pavement ends, And mere mortal men
[Interlude]
E F# F# A B A E B x2
E C#m7 G#m7 C#m7 F#m7 B x2
Asus2 E G#7 C#m7 G#m7 A E B Asus (lick) E
[Verse 3]
E C#m7
If I could do it over
G#m7 C#m7
I'd own a souvenir stand
F#m7
On some dust covered highway
B
On some boarded up strand
E C#m7
Where the ghost of a thrill ride
G#m7 C#m7
Looms, creaks and commands
F#m7
Lost armies of seagulls
B
On a kingdom of sand
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
I never dance until dawn
G#7 C#m7
I'll never really feel at home
G#m7 Amaj
I'll never lay around stoned all summer long again
E
I finally understand
B Bsus A Asus2
Where the pavement ends, And mere mortal men
[Tag]
Am E
I finally understand
