G C
california girls they have a way
G C
of moving their mouths just a certain way
G D
saying things that always seem so right
C G
but when the shine wears off at the end of the day
Em C
i'm left with the tab and not a word to say
G D G
because i see your face when they turn out my light
C G Em
so i keep another night by this fire and drink some wine
X C G C G
it's the closest thing to you i'm gonna find
G C
new york ladies, they drive men crazy
G C
can't keep up, i'm from the south and lazy
G D
this town stays open too late for this old bum
C G
and maybe it's because it's got too many faces
Em C
crammed like fishes in compact places
G D G
this is why all of them seem desperate and alone
C G Em
so i pick back up the cigarettes, but only for the night
X C G C G
it's the closest thing to you i'm gonna find
C G C G
Em C G Em
X C G G
G C
georgia girls took all my pennies
G C
every time i come back i fall from many
G D
i wake up and wonder just why i ever left here
C G
when they spend all night with a drink to the face
Em C
get caught up in politics and race
G D G
i just smile and shove the cotton further down my ear
C G Em
and my hands are full of the sticky stuff from your backyard georgia pie
C G C G
it's the closest thing to you i'm gonna find
