Strum
D-DU-UDU
Lonely  every time a canteen of lights  came up
 On the Indian  Casino Queen  Cus he’d  loved her from the time she’d been the
 waitress  at the Mexican  place where he’d left his keys
 She’d been there smile’n  at the lost and found
   /  ( )
 Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin’ at the fairgrounds
 Holdin’ hands singin  “Joy to the  World”
 She was way too young
 But he did not care
 He was alright with cashin’ in
 A few fine moments before his broken  heart kicked in
 Well he
died  a little bit each time the night  came in
 And the stars  fell over Michigan  Cus he’d loved  her at the ball when he saw her
dancing  to “I Could Never Take  the Place of Your Man”
 Then he’d come over  to his usual spot
   ( )
 Soon they were makin’ out at three AM in the empty parking lot
 They lay together  under the burnt out stars
 She never loved him  back
 It wasn’t  even close
 But he was fine with just pretend
 that it was never gonna end
 and it was worth it just to know
 A little warmth before the snow
