Capo 5

Intro: G

verse 1

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

I got a clear conscience, decoded the code
     C                               G
Your bags are packed, you're already gone
               Dm7
And that's the last you'll hear of me
           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                        G
I know life is hard, well so am I
      Dm7
Don't cry for me
                      G
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

                           C            G        Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                                        C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
                      G

verse 3

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

I fought as a girlfriend, I fought as a wife
    C                                G
Oh, prisoners they say are no one to love
          Dm7
Well, I'm throwing in the towel
                   G
I'm taking off the gloves

                           C            G        Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                                        C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
                      G

Bridge
             F
And when you tell Susan that you love her
                        G
You can look her in the eye
             F
And when you tell Gina
                        G     Dm7
You can look her in the eye

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

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

                           C            G        Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
                                        C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
                      G
