Key: E
Introduction:
E
Looking at your watch a third time
E A A4 A A4
waiting in the station for the bus
E
Going to a place that's far,
E A A4 A A4
so far away and if that's not enough
B A Abm C#m
Going where nobody says hello,
C#m Bm A
they don't talk to anybody they don't know
E
You'll wind up in some factory
A A4
that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
E
Walk home to an empty house,
E A A4 A A4
sit around all by yourself
B A Abm C#m
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
C#m Bm A
You'll be coming back before too long
E F#m B
Don't go back to Rockville,
E F#m B
don't go back to Rockville,
E F#m B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year
(Verse 2 same as first)
E A B A B
It's not as though I really need you
E A B A B
If you were here I'd only bleed you
F#m C#m F#m C#m A
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
A B
That's not how it ought to be
B A Abm C#m
Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
C#m Bm A
You'll be coming back before too long
(chorus)
