[Intro]: Emadd2 Cmaj7/G D7/F# G Fmaj7 C Cmaj7
I sGaw you at the C/Gpolice station, and it brEmeaks my heart to say
Your eGyes had wanderedC/G off to something dEmistant cold and grey
AmI guess you didn't see it coming, someone's gotten used to slumming
GDreaming of the golden yGmaj7ears, I see you had to change careers
FAmar away, but we both know it's somewhere
I sGaw you on the C/Gback page of some frEmee press yesterday
The drGiftwood in your C/Geyes said nothing shEmort of love for pay
AmI know you from another picture, of someone with the most conviction
GWe used to read the funny paGmaj7pers, fool around and pulled some capers
NAmot today, I send a message to her
DA message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her
DFown home countryCadd2, I rest my face onAsus4 your bAed
Well I've got you tFen times overCadd2, I'll chase you down 'tilAsus4 you're dAead
I sGaw you on aC/G TV station, and it mEmade me want to pray
An Gempty shell of C/Gloveliness, and now dEmusted with decay
AmWhat happened to the funny paper, smiling was your money maker
GSomeone ought to situate Gmaj7her, find a way to educate her
AmAll the way, time to come and find you
DYou can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do
DFown home countryCadd2, I rest my face onAsus4 your bAed
Well I've met my sFoul mate country, anCadd2d I left it all forAsus4 your hAead
[Interlude]: D Am Em Am C D
I sGaw you in the cC/Ghurch yard, there was Emno time to exchange
YGou were getting C/Gmarried, and it fEmelt so very strange
AmI guess I didn't see it coming, now I guess it's me who's bumming
GDreaming of the golden yGmaj7ears, you and I were mixing tears
NAmot today, not for me but someone
DI never could get used to, so now I will refuse to
DFown home country, CI rest my face onAsus4 your bAed
Well I've met my sFoul mate country, and CI left it all forAsus4 your hAead
Well I've got my bFest foot forward, and CI'll chase you down 'tilAsus4 you're dAead
