Capo 5

Intro: G+G

verse 1

Well, I left your life by the side of the road

I got a clear conscience, decoded the code
   C majorC                G+G
Your bags are packed, you're already gone
        Dm7Dm7
And that's the last you'll hear of me
      G+G
Move on, move on

verse 2

I got a 'For Sale' sign and a brain in my head

I have paid my dues, I'm not crazy or dead
    C majorC            G+G
I know life is hard, well so am I
   Dm7Dm7
Don't cry for me
           G+G
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

              C majorC      G+G    Dm7Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                    C majorC
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
           G+G
This is my written permission


verse 3

I've been fighting for you for most of my life

I fought as a girlfriend, I fought as a wife
  C majorC                G+G
Oh, prisoners they say are no one to love
     Dm7Dm7
Well, I'm throwing in the towel
          G+G
I'm taking off the gloves

              C majorC      G+G    Dm7Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                    C majorC
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
           G+G

Bridge
       FF
And when you tell Susan that you love her
            G+G
You can look her in the eye
       FF
And when you tell Gina
            G+G   Dm7Dm7
You can look her in the eye

You can sleep with yourself
            G+G
You can sleep with your lies

Your lies, your lies, your lies
   C majorC      G+G
I'm okay now, goodbye

              C majorC      G+G    Dm7Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                    C majorC
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
           G+G
