C  G  Am   G C

[Verse]
                G      C
You're comin' tonight
          G     C
To my hometown
                        G
I've been to yours many times before
                       D       C
And it's always been a thrill

[Verse]
                    G    C
We'll stay in our hotel
                  G   C
Or at friends nearby
                             G
We haven't spent the night together in this town
                       D     G
Since Nineteen seventy-nine
                D       C
Not such a long time

[Chorus]
              G          C
I can steal a melody of
             G      C
This, I am allowed
                       Am
'Cause you would never sue me, baby
                 Bm            C      D   C
It wouldn't look good, it'd be weird

[Verse]
                       G     C
Have a drink after the show
                       G     C
I might really want to know
                   G
But everything you say I oppose
                   D    G
I blame it on my whole
             D       C
It's just my role

[Chorus]
              G          C
I can steal a melody of
             G      C
This, I am allowed
                       Am
'Cause you would never sue me, baby
                 Bm            C     G  Am  G  C  G  Am   G
It wouldn't look good, it'd be weird

[Bridge]
    C               G                     C
And I spend my time trying to forget you
               G
With booze and smoke from cigarettes and dope
    C                    G
And I, I only seem to forget myself
                      D        C
E|t's| only you that is left---

[Chorus]
              G          C
I can steal a melody of
             G      C
This, I am allowed
                       Am             C
'Cause you would never sue me, baby

[Chorus]
              G          C
I can steal a melody of
             G      C
This, I am allowed
                       Am
'Cause you would never sue me, baby
                 Bm            C   D
It wouldn't look good, it'd be weird
        C   D
It'd be weird
        C   D   C
It'd be weird

[Outro]
                G      C
You're comin' tonight
          G
To my hometown
