Some Nights Are Long Tab

by Holly Throsby


Standard tuning, and played with a capo on the 3rd fret (I\'m sure that\'s how she plays 
live...)  Chords are relative to the capo...

1st Verse



Look for a sign in the window
             
An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
          
Tie on an apron for change in my pocket
                
To spend at the shops and study the docket
         
I can be honest, I can respond
        
Hold my own and take on what comes


Save it for later, be restrained


Make up my mind, then want to change it

Chorus
           
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
       
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
                 
And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
        
Find my page and turn them again and again

2nd Verse



Oh, I guess I got lost
            
I must have forgotten, it\'s just been so hot
              
I make all my choices on coins I can toss
              
Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots
             
And I can be honest, I can be strong
         
Wait for all those letters to come
             
Peel off the labels, check the dates
         
Order my days and then re-arrange them

Chorus


           
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
       
Like a storm, when nothing\'s in order
                 
And these little thoughts they buzz like a train
         
Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
