I hid out on the fr[C]ont porch[C]
I [C]laid up in my mind[C]
I l[F]ooked for me a love
The best one I could [C]find
[C]He got himself a ticket
[C]On an internati[C7]onal flight
[C7]Oh it's [F]nothing
[F]But a goddamn [C]shame
[C]Is what it is
Oh it?[F]?s nothing
[F]But a goddamn [C]shame
The smell of burnt exhaust
Drifts into the bar
It's midnight in California
It's high noon where you are
Motorcycles and booze
Dirty old perfume
Oh it's nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh it's nothing
But a goddamn shame
I tried to go to sleep
In my haunted little room
The shadows are churning
In the passage of the moon
It'd break my heart to tell you
I couldn't come so soon
Oh it's nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh, it's nothing
But a goddamn shame
Tell me one more time
Why you went away
It makes a little sense
In the light of day
When evening comes around
All my senses fly away
It's nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh it's nothing
But a goddamn shame
