[Intro]
C Dm
In Reno town for a few dollars down
G
You can buy yourself
C
a sepa-ration
[Verse]
G C Dm
And say good-bye to the love and the life that we shared to-gether
G C
Sign it away with the stroke of a hotel pen
C Dm
All of the dreams that we had will be gone for-ever
Dm G
I can't believe we're through
Dm G7
I won't give up on you
[Chorus]
C
How can I stand aside
C7 F
And watch a good love die
G C Gm
Don't go down to Reno, stay a-nother night
C
One night and you may find
C7 F
I'll make you change your mind
G C
Don't go down to Reno, stay a little bit longer
[Instrumental]
G G G7 C
[Verse]
C Dm
Try to remember the day when the bells were chiming
G C
Picture the clothes that I wore and I know you'll smile
C Dm
Think of the nights when we knew that our star was climbing
Dm G
I can't throw that a-way
Dm G7
I've got to make you stay
[Chorus]
C
How can I stand aside
C7 F
And watch a good love die
G C Gm
Don't go down to Reno, stay a-nother night
C
One night and you may find
C7 F
I'll make you change your mind
G C
Don't go down to Reno, stay a little bit longer
[Instrumental]
G G7
[Outro]
C
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh
C7 F
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
G C Gm
Don't go down to Reno, stay a-nother night
C
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh
C7 F
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
G C Gm
Don't go down to Reno, stay a little bit longer
C
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh (fade-out)
