VERSE
   Dmaj
So it gets to seven
   Dmaj7Dmaj7
And I think of nothing

Well she's not telling
 A augmentedA
I don't even know her name

 Out in the cold

C# minorC#m
 If you know the game
Esus4/B   Esus4/B
Agitated in Xenon nightly
A augmentedA
 I'll take you home again


VERSE
    Dmaj7Dmaj7
Travel way downtown
  Dmaj7Dmaj7
In search of nothing

   Dmaj7Dmaj7
So I turn the pages
  Dmaj7Dmaj7
And tell the story
C# minorC#m
 From town to town
Esus4/B
People tell me
Esus4/B
Be determined
A augmentedA
 Poor country boy


VERSE
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Too much luck
   Dmaj7Dmaj7
Means too much trouble
C# minorC#m
 Much time alone
  Esus4/B
But arm in arm
    Esus4/B
With my seaside diamond
A augmentedA
 I'll soon be home
