These Nights (transcribed by Jim McGuire)

 

No room service after midnight so I’m dining light on nuts from the machine

A……………………………………………D……………………………….A….

And your pictures not like having you but it sure dresses up room 418

A……………………………………………………….D…………………A….

If I didn’t feel like I belonged out here I’d pick to night to have my doubts uhuh

…..F#m………………………….D……………….A…………E……….A…….D…

It’s just another road map that I haven’t had the time to figure out

….A………………………………….D……………..E……………A…..

 

These nights they must be sent here to depress me maybe break me maybe test me these nights

A……….D……………………………………………………………………………………………A……

These nights are the life I try to fashion out of microphones and passion these nights

A……….D………………………………………………………………………………A…..

And the things that I uncover everytime I hold my heart up to the lights these nights

……….D…………….A……………….E……………F#m…………….D…………A

 

Sometimes I’m blinded by the spotlight and reminded of the first time that I played

A………………………………………………….D………………………………..A……

It’s lucky that I didn’t know how bad I was or I’d have never stayed

A……………………………………D………………………………A…..

And after all these nights if more of me is diamond and less of me is rough uhuh

…………F#m……………….D………………..A…………..E……………..A……D…

I’d still fly into the candle cause on nights like these you’re never blind enough

A……………………………………….D………………………..E…………….A……

 

These nights they must be sent here to amaze me maybe break me make me crazy these nights

A……..D………………………………………………………………………………………………..A….

These nights am I blazing am I pleading are my secrets worth repeating these nights

A……..D………………………………………………………………………………….A…..

And the things that I discover every time I hold my heart up to the lights these nights

………….D…………..A…………….E………………….F#m………….D………….D…..

 

SAME CHORDS THROUGHOUT

 

These nights they must be sent here to confound me maybe bury maybe drown me these nights

These nights when I’m stranded on the runway

Wondering if there’s more than one way up an’ one way down

And the things that I discover every time I pour my heart out to the crowd these nights

 

These nights they must be sent here to amaze me maybe break me make me crazy these nights

These nights am I blazing am I pleading are my secrets worth concealing these nights

And the things that discover every time I hold my heart up to the lights these nights
