I saw a lack of this song anywhere, so I decided it was about time someone posted a decent rendition of this little croon. Here's my interpretation, enjoy! VERSE 1:

Em              C
angel broke her wing

G           C
oh you poor thing

    Am         Em         G          D
the hum of the motor gave way to the tick tick

Em             C             G         C
ticking of the clock and the rattle of springs

    Am             D 
the buick's in the drive

    Am         D7
its good to be alive

CHORUS:

       G        D         Am       D
and if you knew now, what you knew then

    C              G        C              D
you wouldn't wanna go home, wouldn't wanna go

   G        D         Am       D
if you knew now, what you knew then

    C              G     C     D        G 
you wouldn't wanna go to amity gardens again

VERSE 2: it isn't very much but for now its home a room in the shadow of a funny lookin' man on the phone to the bank about a default loan I thank you very much ta ta we'll keep in touch CHORUS: BRIDGE:

D
  where you, came from

and act like you tried

Am                     Em
'cause some things are better kept 

G
deep down inside

    Am         Em             G
but you're not driving you're along for the ride

     Am               D
just checking out the scene

    Am            D7
and taking in the green

CHORUS:
