[Verse]

D            A                 Bm    A
Small town blues Sunday afternoon
G            A               D     A
Smells like sadness and perfume
D            A             Bm    A                 G
A tear fell down from your eye, asked the Good Lord, "Why?"
               A                     D
I didn't care where I just needed a ride

G              A                   D
I know I'm a fool, but even I can see
G                 A                       D     A
You're the kinda thing that thrives on misery

           Bm                   A
I used to carry myself with my head held high
           G                          E
Now I'm looking at your picture with tears in my eyes
   G              A                   D   A
Avalon, baby, please make it back alive

D                   A                Bm    A
Wish I could find a way to forget it all
G            A                  D     A
Turn that clock up against the wall
D                   A                Bm             A
You were a mountain of pride when everything went wrong
G            A                         D     A
You closed your eyes and let the dominos fall

G              A                   D
Everything always ends the same
G                 A                       D     A
Fire burns bright then it fades away

           Bm                   A
I used to stand up tall with my head held high
           G                          E
Now I'm looking at your picture with tears in my eyes
   G              A                   D   A
Avalon, baby, please make it back alive

Bm       D        E     G
Lord, tell me what to say
Bm       D        E     G
Love don't find a way
A
(Yeah)
G             A                D
Turn on the radio in that old Ford
G            A              D     A
And then Gabriel blew his horn

           Bm                   A
I used to carry myself with my head held high
           G                          E
Now I'm looking at your picture with tears in my eyes
   G              A                   D   A
Avalon, baby, please make it back alive

           Bm                   A
I used to stand up tall with my head held high
           G                          E
Now I'm looking at your picture with tears in my eyes
   G              A                   D   A
Avalon, baby, please make it back alive
   G              A                   D   A
Oh Avalon, baby, please make it back alive
