INTRO:: D  F D  G D  F D  G

VERSE 1::
  D              F
I'm on my way, I got no time to waste
D            F
Places to go, people to chase

Gonna grab my comb 'n my toothpaste

Gotta get away from here

VERSE 2::
D                  F
Twenty-one years from the day I was born
   D                   F
I was working on the night shift, tooting my horn
    D                 G
Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm
         F D  F
You come to me


CHORUS::
G
You were the girl with the summer sunshine
Dm
In your eyes and in your smile
G
You were the one I thought loved me
    D      C          G
It was something I never could quite believe
D             F D  G
Gotta get away from here


VERSE 3::
   D               F
I'm a real bad loser, that's what I am
   D           F
Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram
    D              G
You can stick my money in an old tin can
 D              F D  G
I think I fell in love again


VERSE 4::
   D               F
I was down by the bus stop biding my time
   D                F
I was hitching a ride with a friend of mine
   D              G
I was almost gone, I was over the line
     D           F D  F
I said, "What's come over me?"


CHORUS::
G
You were the girl with the sound of springtime
Dm
In your songs and in your voice
G
You were the one I thought loved me
    D      C          G
It was something I never could quite believe
D             F
Gotta get away from here
D            F
Gotta get back to you

     D                 F
I'm gonna make it today, I'm gonna get on my toes
   D                 F
Been awake so long I'm getting ready to doze
   D             G
Gonna grab my bag and a few old clothes
D             F
Gotta get away from here

Gotta get back to you
 D
I gotta get away, gotta get away
F     D
Gotta get away, gotta get away
      G
Gotta get away
