G                      Em
  It gets loneliest at night
                   D
down at the liquor store
            C
beneath the neon sky, our moonlight

G                                      Em
  Six A.M., the floor comes alive with lice
                      D
the pan's dried up so tight
              C
with hardened beans, we're hungry

G F#       Em              D
    Well I lean on you sometimes
        C
just to see you're still there

G           F#                       Em 
 these feet can't take the weight of one
       D              C
much less two, we hit concrete.

Em        G                C
  When we pulled into this mess
Em         G             C                D  
  I know I painted you a prettier picture baby
Em            G            C             
  but we were run out on a rail
Em              G            C     D
  fell from the wagon to the night train

G              C
  I kissed the bottle
G                          C
  I should've been kissing you
G                   C
  you wake up to an empty night
G                C
  with tears for two

Cigarettes they fill the gaps
in our empty days
in our broken teeth

Say mister, can you spare a dime
some change could make a change
could buy some time, some freedom

Or an ear to hear my story
it's all I've got, my fiction
beats the hell out of my truth
a palm upturned burnt blue, don't call it sunburn

You've been shaking on the job
just one drink ahead of your past
there's a white light coming up
you draw the blinds hoping it'll pass

I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissing you
you wake up to an empty night
with tears for two
