#1:
F             F7             Bb
Maybe she was smiling in the mirror
C7                             F
  Maybe I was too 'cause I was stoned
F             F7              Bb               G
Singing every sad song on the jukebox one more time
C7                               F
Honey they were hittin' close to home
 
#2:
F                          F7                 Bb
And I said maybe this will make you think I'm crazy
C7                                F
 Honey don't feel lonesome if you do
F            F7               Bb             G
If you wanna make a young man happy one more time
C7                                    F
I'd sure like to spend the night with you
 
Chorus:
F                                             Bb     Gm7
And she said stranger "Shut out the light and lead me
C7                             F
Somewhere shut out the shadows too"
F                      F7                 Bb     Gm7
And while we lay there making believe you love me
C7                          F
Stranger could I believe in you
 
#3:
F             F7            Bb
Maybe you got all you got together
C7                                F
And maybe you keep rolling like a stone
F              F7               Bb             G
Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
C7                             F
and leaving you a little more alone
 
Chorus:
 
F                                             Bb     Gm7
And she said stranger "Shut out the light and lead me
C7                             F
Somewhere shut out the shadows too"
F                      F7                 Bb     Gm7
And while we lay there making believe you love me
C7                          F
Stranger could I believe in you
 
Outro:
F                                             Bb     Gm7
And she said stranger "Shut out the light and lead me
C7                             F
Somewhere shut out the shadows too"
F
And while we (fade)
