Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you

Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

♫ Verse 1:
Gmaj7
Another summer taking cover
Em7 Cmaj7 G
Rolling thunder, he don't understand me
Gmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7 G
Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter he was with her in dreams
Gmaj7
Grey and blue and fights in tunnels
Em7
Handcuffed to the spell I was under
Cmaj7 G
For just one hour of sunshine
Gmaj7
Years of labor, locks, and ceilings
Em7
In the shade of how he was feeling
Cmaj7 G
It's gonna be alright, I did my time
♫ Chorus:
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

Fresh out the slammer

♫ Verse 2:
G
Morning, his place, burn toast, Sunday
C
You keep his shirt, he keeps his word
Em
And for once you let go, of your fears and your ghosts
C
One step, not much, but it said enough
G
You kissed on sidewalks, you fight and you talk
C
One night he wakes, strange look on his face
Em
Pauses, then says, you're my best friend
C
And you knew what it was, he is in love
♫ Chorus:
G
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
C
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
Em
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
C
You are in love, true love
C G C Em C
You are in love
G C Em C
Ah-huh
♫ Bridge:
G
And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe round and round
C
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown
Em
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
C
And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
G
'Cause you can hear it in the silence
C
You can feel it on the way home
Em
You can see it with the lights out
C
You're in love, true love
♫ Chorus:
G
You're in love, you can hear it in the silence, silence, you
C
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
Em
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
C
You are in love, true love
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
C
You are in love
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
C
True love
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
C
True love
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
Em7 Cmaj7 G
I’m running, I’m running to the house we still wait up in that porch light gleams
Gmaj7 Em7
To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams
Cmaj7
And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
G Gmaj7
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake
Gmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Here at the park where we used to sit on children's swings
G Gmaj7 Em7
Wearing imaginary rings
♫ Outro:
Cmaj7
‘Cause you are in love, true love
G
You are in love
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I’m running back home to you
Cmaj7 G
‘Cause you are in love, true love
