BbIf you'd only stopped to read
Bb C FCold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls

You'd never have loved me if I'd just come and gone Outro
FIf I'd just come and gone
F BbIf I'd only come and gone
Bb CIf I'd only come and gone

Ghear the children crying, in an apartment, down below
A7This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to listen to it,
D Dsus DI'm going home, yeah
DThis is the last morning, that I try to breath the heavy air,
A A7fight the crowds, avoid the traffic, watch the world turn grey
This is the last morning, that I drink my coffee standing up,
Dsmile and speak to strangers, who just turn and walk away
DThis is a tough cold city here, and I'll guess I'll never cut it here
DAnd I'm so tired of trying to stand against it, all alone
A7This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to fight it,
D Dsus DI'm going home, yeah
DThis is the last morning that I wear these greasy overalls,
Apunch the clock, and do just what I'm told, to get along
A7And face the long evening, laying close beside my radio,
D Dsus Dimagining the kisses, of the girl that sings the song
DDown below the subway's screaming, as I lay here halfway dreaming
G DLooking at the ceiling, wondering where, the dream went wrong (where, where)
A7This is the last morning, that I'm gonna have to think about it,
D Dsus DI'm going home, yeah
D Dsus E D Dsus D
D Dsus DI'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home . . . .
