Intro:
Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G x4

Verse 1:
     Fmaj7/C
Well the sun is beating down the black top
C majorC G+G                    Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
My hands are aching, my head is falling off
   Fmaj7/C
And I can't seem to sleep past nine
C majorC G+G             Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
Crying eyes over wasted time
    Fmaj7/C
And the older I get the more I see
C majorC G+G                     Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
If you walk out the door there's no re-entry
  Fmaj7/C
So where do I stay and when do I go?
C majorC   G+G                   Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
These are the questions I really wanna know

Chorus:
      C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
   C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
    C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
    C majorC       G+G    Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
   Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
With you

Instrumental:
Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G x3

Verse 2:
  Fmaj7/C
And back to the place where I grew up
C majorC  G+G                  Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
With stacks of books at the TV volume up
 Fmaj7/C
I always dreamt of a bigger place
C majorC  G+G                     Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
Now I'm wondering why I wanted to escape this
   Fmaj7/C
Cause my old dog ain't here no more
C majorC  G+G                           Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
Just sitting on the shelf with the ones that came before him
      Fmaj7/C
Yeah so now just sit down and watch a film with me
C majorC G+G             Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G
I need you here desperately

Chorus:
      C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
   C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
    C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
    C majorC       G+G    Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
    C majorC       G+G    Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer

Bridge:
     C majorC G+G       A minorAm    Fmaj7/C
And well I close my eyes and I see everything
  C majorC G+G         A minorAm        Fmaj7/C
See an old used car and a broken bike in an overgrown yard
   C majorC G+G             A minorAm      Fmaj7/C
I see my friend walking through the field to the evergreen
   C majorC   G+G       A minorAm      Fmaj7/C  C majorC G+G
Where we'll drink too much and cry about everything

Instrumental:
Fmaj7/C C majorC G+G x3

Chorus:
      C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
   C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
    C majorC    G+G    Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
    C majorC       G+G    Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
    C majorC       G+G    Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer
G+G   Fmaj7/C
With you
