Bb majorBb  A minorAm  DmDm

Verse 1:
Bb7M
Boarded windows, rusty stairs

Local color push their wares
     A minorAm      DmDm
They're stuck in their ways
  Bb7M
You tell me that you just don't care
C majorC
Don't pretend that you don't care

Verse 2:
Bb7M
Waves of undulating grain
            A minorAm
Visible from the little train
      D7D7
Where you slept
G minorGm
Sorry that I ripped your dress
C majorC            A7A7
Sorry that I ripped your dress, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh

DmDm       FF
You're already gone
          Bb majorBb
This house ain't a home
          FF
I'll take the last flight
DmDm      FF
I stare at my hands
          Bb majorBb
We'll make our last stand
       FF
I'm leavin' Detroit


Verse 3:
  Bb7M
The pushin' billboards, fast food chains
              A minorAm
Tires whining softly in the rain
          DmDm
On the outskirts of town
Bb7M
What it is that I don't got
C majorC
Who it is that I'm not

Verse 4:
  Bb7M
You like it rough, or so you said

I hit you 'til my fingers bled
   A minorAm       D7D7
Your eyes are nickel blue
  G minorGm
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
  Eb MajorEb              C majorC
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh

I'm leavin' Detroit
