verse 1
C majorC                G+G
Well a town's a town when you're upside down,
FF          A minorAm   Am7/GAm7/G    FF
Lay your bones on a bed, it's that easy
G+G         C majorC  G+G
To have a kind of home

C majorC            G+G
Where the money goes I know too well
FF           A minorAm    Am7/GAm7/G    FF
Spreads out like the jobs I've worked so many
   C majorC         G+G
Hard days don't seem to end

Pre-Chorus 1
     A minorAm   E minorEm  FF    C majorC
Well I'm wasting time, wasting time
   FF       C majorC      G+G
And I only know one way to go to start again

    C majorC      G+G
Let it roll, let it roll
     A minorAm      E minorEm
Down the banks of the Ohio
     FF       C majorC
When you can't rely on what you make
  FF       G+G
To pay the rent on time

    C majorC   G+G
So I'm goin' away,
   A minorAm     E minorEm
Down to the fortifio (?)
  FF         C majorC   G+G
Oh way down there in Cairo, IL
     C majorC
I'm gonna stay

verse 2
   C majorC            G+G
Now what do you say when the bottom falls out,
FF      A minorAm    Am7/GAm7/G FF
Try to make amends with anybody
   G+G       C majorC   G+G
That ever caused you pain

    C majorC              G+G
It's no fault of mine that it should end this way
FF        A minorAm   Am7/GAm7/G FF
And I wont' apologize to anybody
    C majorC         G+G
For a thing that I can't change


Pre-Chorus 2

See I'm used to bein' alone, used to bein' alone,
