Enough of the Night Chords & Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Enough of the Night

guitar chords lyrics

Jackson Browne

Capo 3rd fret

C G
You used to stand on the tables
C G
You used to shoot out the lights
C G
You used to stop trucks on I-19
C G
In your blue leopard tights

C G
You got the vote of your high school
C G
Most likely to exceed
C G
But not likely to ever get enough
C D G
Enough of what you need

C G C G
Enough of the night
C G C G
Enough of the night

C G
And now the carnival lights come down
C G
The sounds of laughter recede
C G
You sit and drink in this cardboard town
C G
The fast lane gone to seed
C G
You used to laugh about the damage done
C G
But there was no way to know
C G
How little distance you had actually come
C D G
And how far you'd have to go

Em
It's tough to do, baby
C
It's tough to make it
Em
Oooh-mmmm
D
When the heart is naked
Em
It's tough for you, baby
C G
It's tough for me, too
Am G D
Without all this pain you see through

C G
Now I want to see you smile
C G
You know how it's just been awhile
C G
Don't allow another night to close
C D
On your empty cup, you've had enough of those

C G C G
Enough of the night
C G C G
Enough of the night

C G
You used to count on the miracles
C G
The old shot in the dark
C G
You used to wait for the setting sun
C G
To help you hit your mark
C G
You used to stand on the tables
C G
You used to shoot out the lights
C G
You dressed right out of the fables, baby
C G
Like the Arabian Nights

C G
But you were never the princess
C G
More like the queen of the thieves
C G
And my heart was never more than one of the many
C D G
A queen receives

Em
It's tough to do, baby
C
It's tough to make it
Em
Mmmmmm
D
When the heart is naked
Em
It's tough for you, baby
C G
It's tough for me too
Am G D
Without the disdain to see through

C G
Now, I want to see you smile
C G
You know how, it's just been awhile
C G
Don't allow another heart to pass
C
Beyond your reach,
D
say baby not so fast
C G
Hey, baby not so fast
C G
You've had enough of the night
C D G
To fill the street with tears
C G
You've had enough of those empty hours
C D G
To last a thousand years

C G C G
Enough of the night
C G C G
Enough of the night
C G
Enough of the night

[slowly]
C D G
Enough of the tears
