G I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright C G/B Am G I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright D C G When I get back you can treat me like a Saturday night G I'm glad to see you coming, I'm glad to see you go, she once told me C G/B Am G (Guitar 2 joins; strumming) I’m glad to see you coming I'm glad to see you go D C G But how I miss you sometimes, love, you might never know G (begin electric guitar and steel guitar fills) Don't make me wait so long before you let me back in, honey, baby, please C G/B Am G Don't make me wait so long before you let me back in D Bm D Bm Knowing she's going to lose might give my baby the blues D C G But it won't ever keep my baby from trying to win 8 bars solos You gotta give up something when you try out anything new You gotta give up something when you try out anything new But whatever I give up, love, it won't be you I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright When I get back you can treat me like a Saturday night outro: G repeats and fades can treat me like a Saturday night
