This goes on for most of the song, except the chorus.

   C
Wasn't the question you asked me

   C
It wasn't the answer I gave

   G                                 C
That made me feel like I was on a train

   C
Was a distant voice

   C
Made me make the choice

   G                                    C  
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

   F                            C
'Cause I got a lot of things to do

   F                            C
A lot of places to go

   F                          G
I've got a lot of good things coming my way

   G
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.

C C G C Last time I was there You were out on the couch Pressed into ellipsal electric (?) It was the way that you smiled Made me know at once That I had to get the fuck out of this town 'Cause I've decide to make a stand And I'm not gonna take your hand I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O.
