Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs INTRO: Em La la la la la la la C La la la la la la la Em La la la la la la la C La la la la la la la la la VERSE: G Em Couple young girls went sailing down A1A C D To the arms of Florida sailing down a highway Em C Singing their heads off, tainted by the Holy Ghosts G D Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes closed CHORUS: C D Em The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his way C D G D Pretend he don't know you the very next day C Em Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely C D Em How I still hang around here when there's nothing to hold me VERSE: G Em You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on your feet C D And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and thousands of days Em C And someone you never meet signs a check you get every week G D You try and still can't forget all the strangers that you have met CHORUS: C D Em The night never owed you nothing anyway C D G D Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day C Em Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely C D Em How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me BRIDGE: C D Em Every time every year the travelers come and go C You see them landing with their pale wings D And flying back to the snow VERSE: (Same Chords) And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping CHORUS: And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me C Em Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely C D Em C How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me Em La la la la la la la C D La la la la la la la la la
