Capo 2nd fret
C
I got my plans from trembling hands
F C
I knew just what to do
C Am
Follow each step carefully
F G
And hope they pulled me through
C
My father ran to different lands
F C
And not a word we spoke
C Am
I was here to conquer fear
F G
And bring some glory home
F
There's a world of hate and sorrow
Em
out there standing in your way
F G
There's a load of compromise
C
before you die
F
And each time you step forward
Em
You get burned a little bit
C G Am
No longer know the way to say goodbye
F Dm7 G
Now I'm down here underneath your bedroom light
F G C
Rena please come out with me tonight.
C
I look in through the window
F C
And I though I'd take my chance
C Am
I taught myself to play
F G
so I could be where people danced
C
No higher call than stars that fall
F C
I waited patiently
C Am
A thousand miles of pavement
F G
That became my destiny
F
You can wait a lonely lifetime
Em
Wondering when it's gonna come
F G C
You can while away the hours getting stoned
F
But one day you get lucky
Em
And you look in someone's eyes
C G Am
That tell you you don't have to be alone
F Dm7 G
Now I'm falling back just out of your sight
F G C
Rena please come out with me tonight
F C
Oh now I know the way things go
F C
And what I put you through
Am Em
Cause when they try to get to me ( repeat twice)
F G [:/ C / C / F / C / C,Em,Am / F / G /:]
They get to me through you
F Em
I know it's not the kind of hurt that's easily set right
F G C
And I know you got your reasons to stay inside
F Em
But nothing ever happens when it's left out on it's own
C G Am
You locked in there with just your wounded pride
Dm7 G
I'm down here and I'm way too tired to fight
F G Am
Rena please come out with me tonight
F G C.....
Rena please come out with me tonight
