[Verse]
A G
Cut through San Gabriel and then head home
D A E
My woman's alone in our double it looks like its trouble again
E A G
After the carnival sick from the cotton
G D
Telling my friends I’d forgotten my rhythm
D A A7
But still there just giving me hell
[Chorus]
D A
Well, its alright - I'm back at home
D A
It's alright - I ain’t sleeping alone
F#m E D
It's alright - the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
A
[Verse]
A G
And out on the avenue the girls are performing
D
Soon they’ll be swarming around me
D A E
And breaking the boundaries of comfort
A G
Uppers and alcohol the pair don’t mix
G D
Things have been bad but they’re fixing to turn
D A A7
In spite of all your concern, I’ll be fine
[Chorus]
D A
Well, its alright - I'm back at home
D A
It's alright - I ain’t sleeping alone
F#m E D
It's alright - the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
A
[Solo]
A
G
D
A A7
[Bridge]
G D A
And the deadline is quickly approaching
G D A
And the breakers are coming on strong
G D A
On my own words I’ll be choking
Bm E
Won’t be long
[Chorus]
E D A
Cause, its alright - I'm back at home
D A
It's alright - I ain’t drinking alone
F#m E D
It's alright - the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
F#m E D
It's alright - the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
A
