[Intro] x2
Bbm Gb Db
[Verse 1]
Bbm Gb Db
They cut and nailed hardwood lumber
Bbm Gb Db
Way back in a late 80’s summer
Bbm Gb
Shipped it off to west Texas
Db
And dug the ground here next to us
Ebm
For a dance floor empty as your heart
Ab
Well it might be a good place to start
[Chorus]
Gb Db
For a girl, drinkin all alone
Gb Db
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
Bbm
For a dimly lit room
Ab Gb Fm
To an old fashioned tune
Ebm
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Ab
That’s what they wrote the slow songs for
[Instrumental]
Bbm Gb Db
[Verse 2]
Bbm Gb Db
Aint a night you cant put on the rocks
Bbm Gb Db
Aint a thing he did you cant get over
Bbm Gb Db
But with the dance floor under your feet and your blue eyes staring up at me
Ebm
And your buzzin stronger than neon
Ab (Drop Out)
It’s the only way to just move on
[Chorus]
Gb Db
For a girl, drinkin all alone
Gb Db
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
Bbm
For a dimly lit room
Ab Gb Fm
To an old fashioned tune
Ebm
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Ab
That’s what they wrote the slow songs for
[Instrumental] x2
Bbm Gb Db
[Build Chorus]
Gb Db
For a girl, drinkin all alone
Gb Db
For the last goodbye to the one that done her wrong
[All in]
Bbm
For a dimly lit room
Ab Gb Fm
To an old fashioned tune
Ebm
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Ab Bbm Ab Gb Fm
That’s what they wrote the slow songs for
Ebm
For a guy and a girl and a ballroom floor
Ab (Only Down Stroke)
That’s what they wrote the slow songs for
[Outro] x2
