2X - ( E  B  A  B )

 E                          B
  Where''d you go last night
 A        B
  I never heard you leaving
 E         B
  Woke up in such a fright
 A                       B
  When I could no longer feel you breathing
              E                        B
  And I could smell the rain, from the storm blowing in
        A                          B
  And I looked outside, where your car should have been
         E                           B
  Just a street light''s glare, on an empty street
            A                    B
  When that rain came down, in a twisted sheet


Chorus
 A         B       A            B
  Drive on slowly,     drive on by
            A                B     A     B
  One red rose, in the candlelight


 E                          B
  Where''d you go last night, 
 A        B
  when the show was over
 E         B
  When the band quit playing, 
 A                       B
  when the bar was closing
              E                        B
  When the rain slacked off, and the wind died down
        A                          B
  And a siren wailed, somewhere across town
         E                           B
  Nothing to be done, nothing to be said
            A                    B
  Just had to lay back down, on this broken bed

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
 A                   B
  You could call me later
 A                       B
  Walk me through this one more time
 A                       B               A         B
  I guess you got your needs and I got mine
