  G              C                     Em                 Em
I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say.
     G                 C                Em                 Em
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey.
Am
I guess you didn't see it coming,
Am
Someone's gotten used to slumming.
G
Dreaming of the golden years,
Gmaj7
I see you had to change careers.
Am        Am
Far away, but we both know it's somewhere.

G                C                 Em              Em
I saw you on the back page of some pre press yesterday.
G                     C                Em                Em
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing short of love for pain.
Am
I know you from another picture,
Am
Of someone with the most convictions.
G
We used to read the funny papers,
Gmaj7
Fooled around and pulled some capers.
Am
Not today, send a message to her.
D                          D7
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.
F                 C                Aadd9  A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
F                            C                        Aadd9  A
I've got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
G              C                 Em            Em
I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray.
G                 C                 Em          Em
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
Am
What happened to the funny papers
Am
Smiling was your money maker.
G
Someone oughta situate her,
Gmaj7
Find a way to educate her.
Am           Am
All the way, time to come and find you.
D                            D7
You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do.
F                 C                 Aadd9 A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
F                              C                 Aadd9 A
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head.

( D  Am  Em  Am  C  D )

G                C                    Em           Em
I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
G                C              Em           Em
You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
Am
I guess I didn't see it coming,
Am
Now I guess it's me who's bumming.
G
Dreaming of the golden years,
Gmaj7
You and I were mixing tears.
Am
Not today, not for me but someone.
D                          D7
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.
F                 C                 Aadd9 A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
F                              C                 Aadd9 A
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
F                              C                        Aadd9  A
I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead

( Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am )
