Chords

[Intro] Dm Bb Dm F F C [Verse 1]
            F       C           G                 F
There was a train leavin' for a big beat in a big life

              F
Are you comin'?

                             C
I may have asked you once or twice
[Chorus]
Dm                                Bb
  But I'd already left the hallway  with broken lights

Dm                                     F
  Some dingy landin' we used to tumble from

Dm                                  F
  Where the stairs were cracked and worn, whatever

                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone
[Verse 2]
F                   C       G              F
 And the songs were pushin' harder all the time

F                                       C
Wasn't your fault, then again it wasn't mine

Dm                 Bb
  Broke, frustrated, and obsessed

Dm                           F
  You saw me as ridiculous, I guess

             F         C
And I didn't know from nothing

G               F
Not even my own voice

                     F
But I knew there was something

                        C
And I knew there was no choice
[Chorus]
Dm
  I was leavin', mostly heartache

         Bb
But I was in no mood to rejoice

Dm                           F
  There was so much that was wrong, whatever

                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

                          C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F     C
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
[Instrumental] Dm Bb Dm F F C [Verse 3]
                F                  C
Well, maybe I'll hit the road with Bob

   G                       F
Or maybe hitch a ride with Van

     F
It's all gonna happen

                        C
And I'll be a happening man

Dm                              Bb
  And God must still be laughing  at a boy and his plans

Dm                             F
  In the streets where they were born

F                  C                     G             F
 And the hopscotch traces, well, you can still see 'em here

    F                            C
The chalk lines faded and unclear
[Chorus]
Dm              Bb
  Time for me to  disappear

Dm                    F
  Put my old boots back on, whatever

                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

                          C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

                             F
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
