[Intro]
G D G D
[Verse 1]
G Em
Caught a little sun, Feel a little lazy
G D D7
Had a little fun, Drank a little wine
G G7 C Cm
Made a little love, Got a lot of nothing on my mind
G D G D
It's a good night to lay around here killing time
[Verse 2]
G Em
I made peace with the dark, I'm over the nightmares
G D D7
I've got a strong heart and clean desires
G G7 C Cm
I'm turning out alright, It's been a sweet life so far
G D G G7
It's a good night to kill a little time in your arms
[Chorus 1]
C C/B Am D7 G
I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
G G/F# Em A7 D7
And a far off sense of loss when I first wake
G G7
But I'm turning out alright,
C Cm
Ain't it a sweet life these days
G D
It's a good nite to kill a little time
C C/B Am D7 G
on the fire escape
[Verse Interlude]
G Em G D D7 G G7 C Cm G D G G7
[Bridge]
C D
I nearly let the lust destroy me
C D
If not for you I'd have surely drowned
Em Bm
But I've seen hunger most will never comprehend
C D
Plant friends and lovers one by one in the stony ground
[Verse 3]
G Em
There's a gathering storm, I hear a little thunder
G D D7
I feel a little wind, I smell a little rain
G G7
But I can deal with the angels
C Cm
'Cause it ain't me they're here to claim
G D G G7
It's a good nite for blowing 'em off til some other day
[Chorus 2]
C C/B Am D7 G
I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
G G/F# Em A7 D7
And a far off sense of loss when I first wake
G G7
But I'm turning out alright,
C Cm
Ain't it a sweet life these days
G D
If you think you can stand holding my hand
Em C
on the fire escape
G D
I'm a good man who's done a couple of
C C/B Am D7 G
bad things along the way
