[Verse]

E5
Pulled over at midday 

            A5
The joker’s still wet behind the ears 
   
               E5
He hands off a novel of novice citations 

            A5
Outside the service station 

The glue sets beneath our heels 



[Chorus]

G#5               A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts 

                      E5
And all this booze is useless 

       D#5                   C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep 

G#5                     A5
And the cashier here is ruthless

                       E5 
Jeanette, I wrote your name down 

             D#5                 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do 

         B5      G#5   A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too



[Verse]

E5
Days like this I miss listening to records 

A5
Making coffee together, snow globes and jersey sheets 

E5
I tried sleeping in our bed without you last night 

A5
But that didn’t work at all because I couldn’t sleep 



[Bridge]

G#5
Sometimes I wish it was still last summer 

    A5
And you still lived in South Philly 

             E5                  D#5
And I wasn’t playing a show in Nebraska
 
           C#
Or Austin, Texas 

           B5                     A5
Asking the kids what they ate for breakfast 


G#5                   A5
But here I am, Valero bathroom 

                                   E5
Who’s paid to keep these things cliché? 

     D#5                 B5
Bury me beneath New York State 

                      A5
Because it’s the only place where I feel dead



{Outro Chorus}

G#5               A5
My baby’s in Massachusetts 

                      E5
And all this booze is useless 

       D#5                   C#5
Sunset sing my scratched out sighing soul to sleep 

G#5                     A5
And the cashier here is ruthless

                       E5 
Jeanette, I wrote your name down 

             D#5                 C#5
But I’d hate that job as much as you do 

         B5      G#5   A5
If I was stuck between Barton and Binghamton too
