Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Bb  Am  Dm

Verse 1:
Bb7M
Boarded windows, rusty stairs

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

Verse 2:
Bb7M
Waves of undulating grain
            Am
Visible from the little train
      D7
Where you slept
Gm
Sorry that I ripped your dress
C            A7
Sorry that I ripped your dress, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh


Chorus:
Dm       F
You're already gone
          Bb
This house ain't a home
          F
I'll take the last flight

I stare at my hands
          Bb
We'll make our last stand
       F
I'm leavin' Detroit


Verse 3:
  Bb7M
The pushin' billboards, fast food chains
              Am
Tires whining softly in the rain
          Dm
On the outskirts of town
Bb7M
What it is that I don't got
C
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
   Am       D7
Your eyes are nickel blue

My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
  Eb              C
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh

I'm leavin' Detroit
