C
Find another lover tomorrow

   F
Go find another lover today

       Bb              F
You've been so long on lonely street

            C                          | C C C/B C/A |
That you're surely falling into decay
[Pre-Chorus]
G                  F
 It's time to reconstruct yourself

G                       Ab
Time to test the water again

          C                  G
Well it's sad to see, it's a tragedy

            F
That you're wasting away
[Chorus]
F
Look around, tell me

      G                Em             F
Is it really worth the price that you pay

G                 [ C ]

C
I don't think she's ready to listen

F
I don't think she wants to come back

    Bb               F
The atmosphere's too cold in here

     C                          | C C C/B C/A |
To attract a butterfly like that
[Pre-Chorus]
G                     F
 I think she took the boat-train out

G                        Ab
Maybe caught the night express

          C                   G
She's got devious lies and chameleon eyes

        F
And she can't care less
[Chorus]
    F
Oh, buy yourself a ticket

   G        Em        F
On anything leaving today

G                   [ C ]

Ab     Bb                  Gm            Ab
Oh the rain comes down and shines up the stars

Ab      Bb                 Gm               Ab
Oh, the night steps out in streetlights and bars 

       Ab          |  Gsus4  G  |
To the sounds of guitars,    listen ...
