All of the light inside the bar

Fades to darkness when I hear your name

And I say that you can stay the night
F#
But you've got someone else in mind

Put on a brave face

Pray my makeup doesn't fade

Don't let them see you cry

This time will be the last time

Evangeline you're
Leaving in the morning
G#m
Gave me plenty warning
F#
But my heart can't take the hit
E
Evangeline please
Don't leave me lonely
G#m
With nothing but your faded
F#
Perfume running out the door
E
I know I shouldn't want it
Cause you don't want my heart
G#m
How will I fall asleep
F#
Alone without your loving arms
