[Verse 1]
A
Just outside of the dance hall door
A
Across the street from the hardware store.
D A
Its a full moon night, shining like a big spot light.
A
She smiles and says I guess this is goodbye.
Says come on honey we still got time.
D A
The nights so long and I don't wanna spend it alone.
[Bridge]
E F#m
We can sit here and talk, We can go for a walk.
D A
If anybody Asked, I'll says it my fault.
E F#m
Driving around town till the break of dawn.
D D
Life's to short the nights too long.
[Chorus]
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
F#m
I don't care if its right or wrong.
D
Come the mornin' it might all be gone.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
[Verse 2]
A
She smiles at him as the wind starts to blow.
She's old enough, old enough to know.
D A
What can happen in the dark, between a couple of hearts.
He Says I guess you're right its getting kinda late.
He turns to walk away, she says No way!
D A
The nights so long and I don't wanna spend it alone.
[Bridge]
E F#m
Standing outside of dance hall door.
D A
She said I've never taken anyone home before.
E F#m
He just smiled and said well come on.
D
Life's to short the nights too long.
[Chorus]
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
F#m
I don't care if its right or wrong.
D
Come the mornin' it might all be gone.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.
A
Life's to short the nights too long.

Come the mornin' it might all be gone.

Life's to short the nights too long.
