[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.
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.
