[Verse 1]
 
E                 B       (there''s A C# note right before the F#m)
   SHE GOT OUT OF TOWN
F#m                      A
   ON A RAILWAY NEW YORK BOUND
E                     B

UNTIL IT GETS TOO LATE
 
 
[Chorus]

BUT IF THE BRIGHT LIGHTS DON''T RECEIVE YOU
        B
YOU CAN TURN YOURSELF AROUND
            E
AND COME ON HOME
 
 
I GOT A HOLE IN ME NOW
I GOT A SCAR I CAN TALK ABOUT
SHE KEEPS A PICTURE OF ME
IN HER APARTMENT IN THE CITY
 
SOME THINGS IN THIS WORLD
THEY DON''T MAKE SENSE
SOME THINGS YOU DON''T NEED
UNTIL THEY LEAVE YOU
AND THEY''RE THINGS THAT YOU MISS
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E
BABY, BABY, BABY
              F#m
WHEN ALL YOUR LOVE IS GONE
 
WHO WILL SAVE ME

AND COME ON HOME
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C#m         B             A     A-B
   LET THAT CITY TAKE YOU IN
C#m         B             A     A-B
   LET THAT CITY SPIT YOU OUT
C#m         B             A
   LET THAT CITY TAKE YOU DOWN

FOR GOD''S SAKE TURN AROUND
