Intro:
Fmaj7/C  C  G x4

Verse 1:
         Fmaj7/C
Well the sun is beating down the black top
C  G                                        Fmaj7/C  C  G
My hands are aching, my head is falling off
      Fmaj7/C
And I can't seem to sleep past nine
C G                          Fmaj7/C  C  G
Crying eyes over wasted time
        Fmaj7/C
And the older I get the more I see
C  G                                         Fmaj7/C  C  G
If you walk out the door there's no re-entry
   Fmaj7/C
So where do I stay and when do I go?
C     G                                     Fmaj7/C  C  G
These are the questions I really wanna know

Chorus:
           C       G        Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
     C       G        Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
       C       G        Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
        C              G        Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
     Fmaj7/C  C  G
With you

Instrumental:
Fmaj7/C  C  G x3

Verse 2:
    Fmaj7/C
And back to the place where I grew up
C    G                                   Fmaj7/C  C  G
With stacks of books at the TV volume up
  Fmaj7/C
I always dreamt of a bigger place
C   G                                         Fmaj7/C  C  G
Now I'm wondering why I wanted to escape this
      Fmaj7/C
Cause my old dog ain't here no more
C    G                                                      Fmaj7/C  C  G
Just sitting on the shelf with the ones that came before him
            Fmaj7/C
Yeah so now just sit down and watch a film with me
C G                         Fmaj7/C  C  G
I need you here desperately

Chorus:
           C       G        Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
     C       G        Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
       C       G        Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
        C              G        Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
       C              G        Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer

Bridge:
         C G             Am        Fmaj7/C
And well I close my eyes and I see everything
    C  G                  Am                Fmaj7/C
See an old used car and a broken bike in an overgrown yard
      C  G                          Am           Fmaj7/C
I see my friend walking through the field to the evergreen
      C     G              Am            Fmaj7/C    C  G
Where we'll drink too much and cry about everything

Instrumental:
Fmaj7/C  C  G x3

Chorus:
           C       G        Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
     C       G        Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
       C       G        Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
        C              G        Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
       C              G        Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer
G     Fmaj7/C
With you
