INTRO : E

E
Well I stepped into the station

With my only suitcase in my hand

I bought a ticket at the counter
                                 B7
And I said I gotta stick to my plan
           A                        B7
'Cause I love that girl with all my might |
       E                       A
and I think I finally got it right
E                    B7
5 years, 4 months, 3 days
           E
Goin' home tonight

CHORUS
           A
I've been lyin' and cryin'

And searchin' and dyin'
                       B7
Tryin' just to run or myself
           A
I've been burnin' and yearnin'

And tossin' and turnin'
                          B7   E
I couldn't think of nobody else

E
Well I reached up on the shelf

For my tattered old Samsonite

Oh you're waitin' at the station
                              B7
In that same old dress that I like
       A                   B7
Well now aren't you a beautiful sight
   E                     A
I think I finally saw the light
E                  B7
5 years, 4 months, 3 days
           E
Goin' home tonight

SOLO
CHORUS
