Intro:
N.C.
One, two...

A minorAm G+G C majorC FF (x2)


Verse 1:
     A minorAm    G+G
There's a hard rain showing me the way
C majorC          FF
Up from here to the fire escape
   A minorAm      G+G        C majorC       FF
I was caught stuck standing in the flames again
A minorAm         G+G
Who the hell would you be telling?
C majorC         FF
Everybody knows my secret well
A minorAm        G+G          C majorC    FF
It's a long look stranded in the maze again

Pre-Chorus:
      A minorAm    G+G    C majorC  FF
And it's a long way back to California
   A minorAm    G+G    C majorC    FF
And I ain't got time to cover my tracks
    A minorAm   G+G  C majorC    FF
How the hell do I return to normal
    A minorAm   G+G     C majorC     FF
If I'm always ending up flat on my back


Chorus:
   FF       G+G   C majorC
Well, these are the golden years
FF         G+G
Thought I'd never find 'em
     A minorAm    G+G
I'd just watch 'em disappear
     FF            G+G
Into the echoes of all the older lovers
      FF     G+G
That still whisper my name around here


Interlude:
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF (x2)

Verse 2:
     A minorAm    G+G
And it's one more town to be sure
  C majorC            FF
The rain ain't coming 'round here no more
    A minorAm       G+G         C majorC    FF
Took me eight years to figure out what to do
      A minorAm      G+G
And it's a stone's throw back to the old
C majorC         FF
Habits stored in a well worn coat
      A minorAm       G+G        C majorC    FF
That's the price needed to pay to face the truth


Pre-Chorus:
      A minorAm    G+G    C majorC  FF
And it's a long way back to California
   A minorAm    G+G    C majorC    FF
And I ain't got time to cover my tracks
    A minorAm   G+G  C majorC    FF
How the hell do I return to normal
    A minorAm   G+G     C majorC     FF
If I'm always ending up flat on my back


Chorus:
   FF       G+G   C majorC
Well, these are the golden years
FF         G+G
Thought I'd never find 'em
     A minorAm    G+G
I'd just watch 'em disappear
     FF            G+G
Into the echoes of all the older lovers
      FF     G+G
That still whisper my name around here


Outro:
A minorAm  G+G  C majorC  FF
Yeah, yeah, yeah
      A minorAm    G+G    C majorC  FF
And it's a long way back to California
   A minorAm    G+G    C majorC    FF
And I ain't got time to cover my tracks
