E                                                                             A/Asus4 

 Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus 

  E                                                                             A/Asus4 

 Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough 

  B             A               G#mi  C#mi                              Bmi             A/Asus4 

 Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know 



         E                                                                                      A/Asus4 

 You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go 

  E                                                                  A/Asus4 

 Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself 

     B                       A          G#mi   C#mi 

 I know it might sound strange, but I believe 

                           Bmi       A/Asus4   A A/G#bass   A/F#bass 

 You'll be coming back before too long 



  E                F#mi    B 

 Don't go back to Rockville 

  A                                                    (B)  3-2-0---0-2--3-2-0--0 

 And waste another year     riff:       (G)  ------2------------2 



At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend 

I don't care if you're not here with me 

'Cause it's so much easier to handle 

All my problems if I'm too far out to sea 

But something better happen soon 

Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back 



  E                                       D    B     A  B 

 It's not as though I really need you 

  E                                       F#mi  B     A  B 

 If you were here I'd only bleed you 

  F#mi      C#mi          F#mi         C#mi               A 

 But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and 

                             B 

 That's not how it ought to be 



I know it might sound strange, but I believe 

You'll be coming back before too long
