Chorus:
A    E    A          D         A
Take it away, wanna hear you play
           E        A   D  A
Till the lights go down
A    E    A              D      A
Take it away, don't you wanna stay
              E      D
Till there's no one else around

Take it away, wanna hear you play
Till the lights go down
Take it away, don't you wanna stay
Till there's no one else around

Fmaj9 Gmaj7              A            B7
           Lonely driver, out on the road
Em7       A7sus4            D  Am7  
   With a hundred miles to go
Fmaj9 Gmaj7              A               B7
           Sole survivor, carrying the load
Em7      A7sus4    D  E
Switches on his radio oh

Chorus

In the audience, watching the show
With a paper in his hand
Some important impresario
Has a message for the band

Take it away, wanna hear you play
Till the lights go down
Take it away, don't you wanna stay
Till there's no one else around

     F#m                   Bm
You never know who may be listening to you
You never know who may be listening to you
You never know who may be listening to you
             A
Take it away
             D  Am7  
Take it away

After hours, late in the bar
By a darkened corner seat
Faded flowers wait in a jar
Till the evening is complete
