The Lonesome Side of Town Lyrics

There's a place I know too well, been there and lived to tell
and I can see that you and me are almost halfway there
we're getting much too close, feels like I've seen a ghost
I took a vow if I made it out you'd never catch me there again
no time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
last chance for getting out is fading with the light
?cause I don't want to be around when the night comes down
o-n the lonesome side of town
you can hear each footstep fall, run from shadows on the wall
and every day is just the same as the one that came before
you won't find any peace, not here on these streets
misery loves company and there's enough to go around
no time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
last chance for getting out is fading with the light
?cause I don't want to be around when the night comes down
o-n the lonesome side of town
o-n the lonesome side of town
instrumental break C G D G C G D G
no time to wonder why, no time for long goodbyes
last chance for getting out is fading with the light
?cause I don't want to be around when the night comes down
o-n the lonesome side of town
o-n the lonesome side of town
o-n the lonesome side of town
