[Verse 1]
F G                         F G F
It's 10:35 in the heartland
F G                              F G F
Make your move or you never will
F G                         F G F
The boys are out on Mayfield
                 C  B  G  C B G
Everybody dressed to kill
F G                           F G F
Some of them got their reasons
F G                       F G F
Some of them just got time
F G                         F G F
Some think about last season
                 C   B  G     C B G
Some think about life of crime

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          C  D
And I say hey baby
                 G
We're gonna have time tonight
C                D            G
Hey darling would you like a ride?
              C      D
The girls says maybe
                  G      F#m       Em           D           C
I've got a little time to kill and baby you feel like trying
D
It'd be just like flying

[Chorus 1]
F C G
But nobody writes the names down
F C G
Just something that gotta go through
F C G                                      D
Yeah nothing seems to work out the way they planned
F C G
And some of them think about leavin'
F C G
Not many of them ever do
F C G                          F    C    F C G     F  G
Give it one more try tonight in the hear….t…..land

[Verse 2]
F G                                F G F
On a hundred and fifth at midnight
F G                                F G F
Brothers chose up sides
F G                    F G F
Dark is full of ladies
C       B      G     C B G
Long to be right
F G                                F G F
Well on the west side punks supply
F G                           F G F
And the rich boys come around
F G                                   F G F
And ask them if they can leave it alone
                 C     B     G     C B G
Even though their growing prime

[Pre-Chorus 2]
          C       D
And I say hey baby
                  G
We're gonna have time tonight
