    G              Em7
The city would not lie to her
    Am7               F
The laughter made her cry
    F            C
The invitations filled her hall
    G                A
But never caught her eye
G                  Em7
Downtown lights on Friday night
      Am7              F
The champagne cocaine glow
    F                C
The pounding of her heartbeat
          G                 A
Told her head it's time to go
    C                            Em7
She told me the message from the country
    C                                       Em7     A
She wrote "Come when the leaves are turning bro-o-o-own"
      G                C
And I think I might believe it
       G                     C              F
Cos my hearts too short for grieving, in a town
      G
In a town
