Every time I go downtown I think I might find you around.

I take your picture just in case, anybody's seen-
 G                                       C                         G                                               C 
A girl who's had her better days, just like the last place that you stayed,
   G                                   C                             Am                                         D 
Where I can see you tipping back the curtains, looking for me.
                                               C                         G 
You say. ?Baby do you have to go away
                                   C                           G 
Just before the deal gets real sweet,
                               C                                           G 
Just before my trouble finally pays off,
                                       D 
Can you cover for me?

You smile at me like I'm a worn out thrill,
 G                                               C  Am                     D 
As if I have some endless well of dignity.

You cut yourself like a high school kid-
 G                                     C 
I did it once, everybody did,
 G                                   C   Am                     D 
Just to feel the emptying of everything.
                                     C                             G 
Aww Baby just to watch it all go away,
                                 C                           G 
Every time the deal gets real sweet,

Every time our trouble finally paid off.

It's 2 years of depravity for every year of your recovery,
 G                             C                         Am                                 D 
And you'll lose eventually, if that's what you need.
 G                                               C 
Of all the friends that make me sad,
 G                                 C 
You're the one I just can't have-
 G                               C 
All the numbers that you left me,
 Am                                   D 
They just ring and ring.
                                             C                   G 
I said, ?Baby do you have to go away,
                                   C                           G 
Just before the deal gets real sweet,

Just before my trouble finally pays off,
