## Whenever you see Cadd9 or Fmaj9 play it like the pattern above

(Intro)
Cadd9

(Verse)
                  Fmaj9
I could move to a small town
             Cadd9    Fmaj9  Cadd9
And become a waitress
                Fmaj9
Say my name was stacy
                   Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And I was figuring things out

        G     Fmaj9     Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9     
See, my baby,        he left me  
    G       Fmaj9                    Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And I don't feel like staying here tonight


(Verse)
           Fmaj9
I remember sleepless nights
           Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
I remember chicago
               Fmaj9
I remember the music
                    Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
From the downstairs bar

G           Fmaj9             Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9        
Girls, they just want to have fun
        G                 Fmaj9       Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And the rest of us hardly know who we are


(Chorus)
Dm        F     C              G                
   It's a dark,   twisted road   we are on
Dm        F    C                   G
   And we all     have to walk it alone

Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   C   G
Ooohhh             Ooohhh
Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   Cadd9
Ooohhh             Ooohhh


(Verse)
                 Fmaj9
I could join the circus
                  Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
When they come to town
           Fmaj9  
Me and the freaks, the tamers
                 Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And that old sad clown

    G                Fmaj9                Cadd9
I'd walk across that tight rope head held high
   G                          Fmaj9    Cadd9                
So   close to death I never felt more alive,   but you know


(Chorus)
Dm        F     C              G                
   It's a dark,   twisted road   we are on
Dm        F    C                   G
   And we all     have to walk it alone

Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   C   G
Ooohhh             Ooohhh
Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   Cadd9
Ooohhh             Ooohhh

                         Fmaj9
I could drive out to the ocean
                  Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And just stare in awe
                        Fmaj9
I could walk across the beaches
                    Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
And sleep under the stars

    G               Fmaj9       Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9
Our love would seem trivial and obscure
        G          Fmaj9   Cadd9  Fmaj9  Cadd9 Fmaj9  Cadd9 Fmaj9
Now and never feel lost anymore 

Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   C   G
Ooohhh             Ooohhh
Dm   F   C   G     Dm   F   C   G
Ooohhh             Ooohhh
