Winding Down
By Clint Black
Intro:G  C  G   C
        G                                                    Am
As past times go I guess I've seen some good
D                                                         G         
It's not always the best ones come and stay
C                                              G
                                       
There's a crowd that thinks there is one
             Am
And it should
                     F                          G                   C
Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way

Chorus:
                D
And they call it winding down
        G                         F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C                                 F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C                             G                     C
Describe the days events and go on home
              D
And it's likely they won't drown
          G                      F  
The price goes up and one more round
          C                     F
They close up all the bars downtown
            C                       G                    C 
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
G                                                            Am          
It seems like the same ole motions every night
                   D                                             G
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
             C                       G                   Am      
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
                F                   G                           C
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track

repeat chorus:
D                                 G
Honky tonk heroes are turn the page 
              F                         C
And the books are closed tonight
                             G                      F
Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up
               G                        C
So they'll go home feeling right
                F                             G
You gotta leave'em up so they'll go home
              C
Feeling right
