	G	E
		I was running through the summer rain

Trying to catch the evening train

And kill that old familiar pain

Weaving through my tangled brain

	D
But wh	en i tipped my bottle back

	G
I smacked into a cop i didn't s	ee

Verse 2:

	E
	That policeman said mister cool

If you ain't drunk then you're a fool

I said if that's against the law

Tell me why i never saw

	D
A m	an locked in that jail of yours

	G
Who wasn't just as low down poor as m	e

Chorus1:

	G	Am	C
W	ell that was when someone turned out the l	ights

	D	G
And	i wound up in jail to spend the n	ight

	C/G	Am
And dream of all the wine and lonely g	irls

	D	G
In th	is best of all possible w	orlds

Verse 3:

	E
	Well i woke up next morning

Feeling like my head was gone

And like my thick old tongue was lickin'

Something sick and wrong

	D
And i t	old that man i'd sell my soul

	G
For something wet and cold as that old c	ell

Verse 4:

	E
	That kindly jailer grinned at me

All eaten up with sympathy

Then poured himself another beer

And came and whispered in my ear

	D
If b	ooze was just a dime a bottle boy

	G
You couldn't even buy the sm	ell

Chorus2:

	G	Am	C
I	said i knew that there was something i liked about this t	own

	D	G
But	it takes more than that to bring me d	own

	C/G	Am
Because there's still a lot of wine and lonely g	irls

	D	G
In th	is best of all possible w	orlds

Verse 5:(a tone higher)

	A	F#
		Well they finally came and told me

They was a gonna set me free

And i'd be leaving town

If i knew what was good for me

	E
I s	aid it's nice to learn that

	A
Everybody is so concerned about my he	alth

Verse 6:

	F#
	I said i won't be leaving

No more quicker than i can

Because i've enjoyed about

As much of this as i can stand

	E
And i d	on't need this town of yours

	A
More than i never needed nothin' e	lse

Chorus3:

	A	Bm	D
B	ecause there's still a lot of drinks that i ain't d	runk

	E	A
L	ots of pretty thoughts that i ain't th	unk

	D	Bm
And there is still so many lonely g	irls

	E	A
In th	is best of all possible w	orlds
