Intro:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse 1:
G+G     D MajorD
I was just leaving.
         G+G
I was just up and walking,
       D MajorD
When someone said something.
         G+G
It was likely my name.
       D MajorD
But I didn’t turn then.
        G+G
I just kept on walking.
     D MajorD
Got to my car and,
        G+G
I am presently driving.

Chorus:
        B minorBm        D MajorD
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
         B minorBm
With something I owe you.
          D MajorD
I think you already know that.
      B minorBm
I know I’ll regret it.
      D MajorD
Not living with you.
          B minorBm               D MajorD
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
     D MajorD  D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.

Verse 2:
          D MajorD
There’s this cop in London
          G+G
He’s got it in for me.
         D MajorD
I known him since high school.
           G+G
He still thinks we’re nineteen.
       D MajorD
I can’t live nowhere,
          G+G
Where you could run into me.
          D MajorD
‘Cause I think it’s likely
           G+G
That you’ll make some big scene.

Chorus:
        B minorBm        D MajorD
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
         B minorBm
With something I owe you.
          D MajorD
I think you already know that.
      B minorBm
I know I’ll regret it.
      D MajorD
Not living with you.
          B minorBm               D MajorD
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
     D MajorD  D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.

Bridge:
F#F#              B minorBm
Out of all the places I could run,
F#F#               B minorBm A augmentedA
Lonely’s destination number one.
   F#F#              B minorBm
And I’ll deny it all a little more.
F#F#                   B minorBm     A augmentedA
Yeah I done it, but I don’t know what I did it for.

Verse 3:
        D MajorD
Stopped at this truck stop
       G+G
Right outside Woodstock,
        D MajorD
I was gonna get something,
            G+G
But the whole thing was closed.
              D MajorD
And then I thought I might turn back.
             G+G
And then I though I might call you.
       D MajorD
But I didn’t do that.
      G+G
I just kept going.

Chorus:
       B minorBm        D MajorD
And darlin I can’t go back to Petrolia
         B minorBm
With something I owe you.
          D MajorD
I think you already know that.
        B minorBm
You know that I love you
          D MajorD
I just cannot live with you.
          B minorBm                 D MajorD
And you’ll have to sell that house and get lost in the city.
     D MajorD  D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.
D MajorD  D/C# G7/B
No, no, no.
