Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 As the cafe was closing

 On a warm summer night

 And cathy was cleaning the spoons

 The radio played the hit parade

 And I hummed a long with the tune

 She asked me to change the station

 Said the song just drove her insane

 But it werent just the music playing

 It was me that she was trying to blame.

Chorus

 And the sky is black and still now

 On the hill where the angels sing

 Aint it funny how an old broken bottle

 Looks just like a diamond ring

 But its far, far from me

 Well I leaned on my left leg

 In the parking lot dirt

 And cathy was closing the lights

 A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew

 And I wished for once I werent right

 Why we used to laugh together

 And wed dance to any old song.

 Well ya know she still laughs with me

 But she waits just a second to long.

(Repeat chorus)

 Well I started the engine

 And I gave it some gas

 And cathy was closing her purse

 Well we hadnt gone far in my beat old car

 And I was prepared for the worst.

Will you still see me tomorrow?

No I got too much to do.

 Well a question aint really a question

 If you know the answer too.

(Repeat Chorus)
