From Dusk Until Dawn

[Intro]
[steel guitar glides in over Gmaj7]
Sun’s clockin’ out
Sky’s turnin’ gold then gray
Piano hits that bright first chord
And the night steps in to play
[Verse 1 – Male]
Clock on the wall
Says I should be gone by now
Dust on my boots
But I stick around somehow
You lean on the door
Smudge your name in the fogged-up glass
Laugh in my face
“Boy, you always leavin’ last”
[Chorus – Duet]
From dusk until dawn
We just keep holdin’ on
Dance in this cheap bar light
Like it’s all we’ve ever known
From dusk until dawn
Every doubt gets overdrawn
Till the dark runs out of road
And the sunlight drives us home
[Verse 2 – Female]
Tip jar’s thin
But the band still plays like kings
You tap the table
Drummin’ circles with your ring
I steal your hat
Spin it once then wear it wrong
You shake your head
Say “girl, that’s where my heart belongs”
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 – Duet, trading lines]
[Male] Your lipstick mark
On my coffee cup at two
[Female] Your jacket draped
On a chair I’m dancin’ through
[Male] My truck out back
Gathers midnight on the hood
[Female] My plans run wild
Sayin’ stay a little if you could
[Chorus]
[Verse 4 – Duet, close harmony]
Neon goes dim
But our shadows still hold tight
Your hand in mine
Draws a promise in the night
If the world outside
Keeps on pullin’ us apart
We’ll meet right here each time
Where the evening finds our hearts
[Bridge – Duet]
So when the sun clock’s fallin’
And the workday’s gone
I’ll be waitin’ where the jukebox
Spins our favorite worn-out song
We’ll turn that key together
Let the small talk all be gone
Just you and me forever
From dusk until the dawn
[Chorus]
