Intro G 

G                     Am7 
Who builds a town, without a neon light, 
   G         C                     D 
there should be a place, where the lonely go at night 
            G                    Am7 
for people just like me, who just want to disappear 
       G       C                    D 
in the smoke and the darkness Maybe drop a couple tears 

                  G 
This town needs a bar 
        Am            
cause I need a drink, 
     G          C           
a little place not too far 
        D                
where I dont have to think 
                   G     
or wonder who your with, 
                  Am              
dont wanna wonder where you are, 
    G      C            D                      C D 
that might do the trick, this town needs a bar 

G 
Theres a bank down this street 
       Am7 
that helped us buy this house, 
          C                   D 
that I no longer want because your not in it now 
                       G 
and that church on the corner 
 Am7                   
Where I can go and pray and the doors 
    C                D 
are always open, but I dont wanna go today, 

                  G

a little place not too far 
        D                
where I dont have to think 
                   G     
or wonder who your with, 
                  Am              
dont wanna wonder where you are, 
   G        C            D                      C G 
that might do the trick, this town needs a bar 
  
       C             D                 G 
We had everything we needed to build a life a settle down, 
Am            G/B         C                            
everything was right there, 
                D 
til you weren't around
