[Intro]
G
[Verse]
E
I was running through the summer rain
Trying to catch the evening train
A
And kill that old familiar pain
Weaving through my tangled brain
D
But when I tipped my bottle back
G
I smacked into a cop I didn't see
[Verse 2]
E
That policeman said mister cool
If you ain't drunk then you're a fool
A
I said if that's against the law
Tell me why I never saw
D
A man locked in that jail of yours
G
Who wasn't just as low down poor as me
[Chorus 1]
G Am C
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
D G
And I wound up in jail to spend the night
C/G Am
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
D G
In this best of all possible worlds
[Verse 3]
E
Well I woke up next morning
A
Feeling like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin'
Something sick and wrong
D
And I told that man I'd sell my soul
G
For something wet and cold as that old cell
[Verse 4]
E
That kindly jailer grinned at me
All eaten up with sympathy
A
Then poured himself another beer
And came and whispered in my ear
D
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy
G
You couldn't even buy the smell
[Chorus 2]
G Am C
I said I knew that there was something I liked about this town
D G
But it takes more than that to bring me down
C/G Am
Because there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
D G
In this best of all possible worlds
[Verse 5] (a tone higher)
A F#
Well they finally came and told me
They was a gonna set me free
B
And I'd be leaving town
If I knew what was good for me
E
I said it's nice to learn that
A
Everybody is so concerned about my health
[Verse 6]
F#
I said I won't be leaving
No more quicker than I can
B
Because I've enjoyed about
As much of this as I can stand
E
And I don't need this town of yours
A
More than I never needed nothin' else
[Chorus 3]
A Bm D
Because there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk
E A
Lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk
D Bm
And there is still so many lonely girls
E A
In this best of all possible worlds
