verse 1 
G 
The great escape 
G             C 
might just be killing me 
C            G             G/C  G 
girls that I used to chase 
G               D 
are turning the ghosts on me 

verse 2 
G 
So I sleep all day 
G               C 
in the heat of this devil town 
C                  G              Gadd11 G 
and dream that I'm climbing trees 
G         D 
after the sun goes down 


C 
I don't know how 
C                G          Em7 
my dreams slipped out of sight 
Em7   G 
but I do know

why old men cry at night 
C          G      G/C   D 
yeah yeah yeah 

verse 3 
G 
A thrill's a thrill 
G                C 
but the gamblers run out of need 
C             G              G/C  G 
I lost all my good friends 
G         D 
in Eden's alley 

verse 4 
G 
And when the lights come on 
G                  C 
these big wheels keep rolling 
C         G             Gadd11 G 
taking me to the star 
G                D 
on the wings of an old song 

 
C 
I don't know why 
C                G          Em7 
my dreams slipped out of sight 
Em7   G 
but I do know 
G    D              G      G/C  C 
why old men cry at night 
C          G       
yeah yeah yeah
