NASHVILLE SKYLINE VERSION

G           C                G

Throw my ticket out the window,
G                C                            G
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
                   C           G          C
Throw my troubles out the door,
             C             G    Am
I don't need them any more
             G                     C                        G
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.


I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.

        Cm                      G
        Is it really any wonder
        Cm                                              G
        The love that a stranger might receive.
        Ab                                                 C
        You cast your spell and I went under,
       Am                             D        C    Bm   Am
        I find it so difficult to leave.


I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

(Instrumental)

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.



LIVE 1975 VERSION

(Capo 2nd Fret)

G           C                G
Throw my ticket in the wind,
G                C                            G
Throw my mattress out there, too,
                   C     G        Am
Draw my letters in the sand,
                    C      G       Am
'Cause you got to understand,
             G                C                        G     C      G
That tonight I'll be staying here with you.


I could have left this town by noon,
By tonight I'd been to someplace new.
But I was feeling a little bit scattered,
And your love was all that mattered, get ready,
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

     Ab                        G
        Is it really any wonder
     Ab                                                            G
        The changes we put on each other's heads.
         B7                                                    C
        You came down on me like rolling thunder,
    Am                                           D        D
        I left my dreams on the riverbed.


I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin',
I hear them semis rolling too,
If there's a driver on the road,
Let him have my load,
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

(Instrumental Bridge)

I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
I hear them semis rolling too,
If there's a driver on this road,
Then let him have my load,
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
