Gm          Am 
Another car is stopping for gas , 
                 Gm         Am 
be careful with that burning match , 
          Gm    Am  G   F 
the radio is playing Nat King Cole , 
F7  G   F   Am 
Nat King Cole sings . 

               Gm          Am 
Another stranger turns the wheel , 
              Gm          Am 
I stay behind in silence and feel 
            Gm          Am  G  F 
the oil on overall and hands is all that's left , 
F7  G  F  Am    G    Em 
 all left for me . 

F               Am    G    Em 
Better late than never , 
F                Am    G    Em 
here come the sunny days . 
F                    Am   G    Em 
You keep your eyes wide open , 
F            Am  G   F 
and all I say is Yes , Yes , Yes , 
F7  G   F  Am 
Yes , Yes , me too ! 

Gm           Am 
Gm           Am 
Gm           Am    G    F 
F7    G    F    Am 

              Gm          Am 
I'm ready for a kick in the back , 
              Gm            Am 
I'm ready for another hopeless wreck , 
              Gm    Am  G  F 
I'm ready for a night so long and black , 
F7  G  F  Am    G    Em 
 so long and black . 

F               Am    G    Em 
Better late than never , 
F                Am    G    Em 
here come the sunny days . 
F                  Am   G    Em 
I keep my eyes wide open , 
F             Am    G    Em 
and all I say is Yes . 
F                  Am      G     Em 
Here come the best years of my life , 
F            Am  G   F 
and all I say is Yes , Yes , Yes , 
F7  G   F  Am 
Yes , Yes , me too ! 

              Gm       Am 
Another night of counting cars , 
               Gm     Am 
the magazines and candy bars , 
             Gm     Am   G     F 
and everybody's driving home , they're home ; 
F7  G F  Am 
home before dark .
