[Verse 1]
G D
Frances, she was amazing
C Am7
She held my hand in times like this
G D
She dances, under the strobe lights
C Am7
She called me handsome on nights like this
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But at the end of the day
G/B Am7
What's my mother gonna say when I come home crying?
C
At the end of the day
G/B Am7
I'm just happy I can say she was mine
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Hey-hey, oh-oh
Am7 G/B C
The dog days, the rides home
G D/F#
The tall cans, the long nights
Am7 G/B
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't
C
push you outta the spotlight
Am7 G/B C
I don't know why I still can't get it right
[Verse 2]
G D
Frances, she loved the pine trees
C
Would swing from the branches
Am7
On days like this
G D
Dances, under the moonlight
C
I'd make advances
Am7
When midnight hit
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But at the end of the day
G/B Am7
What's my mother gonna say when I come home crying?
C
At the end of the day
G/B Am7
I'm just happy I can say she was mine
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Hey-hey, oh-oh
Am7 G/B C
The dog days, the rides home
G D/F#
The tall cans, the long nights
Am7 G/B
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't
C
push you outta the spotlight
Am7 G/B C
I don't know why I still can't get it right
[Interlude]
G D C Am7
[Bridge]
C* G/B* Am7*
And every letter in her name, every smile on her face was a silver lining
C* G/B* Am7*
What's there really left to say? I'm just thinking of the days we were fine
[Chorus]
G D/F#
Hey-hey, oh-oh
Am7 G/B C
The dog days, the rides home
G D/F#
The tall cans, the long nights
Am7 G/B
The small chance we'd be together if I didn't
C
push you outta the spotlight
Am7 G/B C
I don't know why I still can't get it right
[Outro]
Am C
I don't know why I still can't get it right
G D C Am7
