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

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

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

Chorus:
               Bm                D

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

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

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