Red Hot Hot Chili Peppers I'm with You [Intro] | Emadd9 | Cmaj7 | D7 | G | | Fmaj7 | C | Cmaj7 | [Verse 1]
     G              C                     Em    
   I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say

        G                 C                Em
   Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey

Am                                
   I guess you didn't see it coming / Someone's gotten used to slumming

G                              Gmaj7
   Dreaming of the golden years / I see you had to change careers

   Am       
   Far away / But we both know it's somewhere

     G              C                 Em
   I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday

       G                 C                 Em
   The driftwood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pay

Am
   I know you from another picture / Of someone with the most conviction

G                                  Gmaj7
   We used to read the funny papers / Fool around and pull some capers

   Am                               D
   Not today / Send a message to her / A message that I'm coming / I'm coming to pursue her
[Chorus]
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed

             F                    C                    Asus4  A
I've got you ten times over / I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
[Verse 2]
     G            C                 Em  
   I saw you on a TV station and it made me want to pray

      G              C                 Em
   An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay

Am
   What happened to the funny paper / Smiling was your money maker

G                              Gmaj7
   Someone ought to situate her / Find a way to educate her

   Am                                     D
   All the way / Time to come and find you / You can't hide from me girl / So never mind what I do
[Chorus]
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed

         F                      C                Asus4 A    D
I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head
[Interlude] | Am | Am | Em | Em | | Am | Am | C | D | D | [Verse 3]
     G              C                      Em
   I saw you in the churchyard / There was no time to exchange

   G                C              Em
   You were getting married and it felt so very strange

Am
   I guess I didn't see it coming / Now I guess it's me who's bumming

G                              Gmaj7
   Dreaming of the golden years / You and I were mixing tears

   Am                                D
   Not today / Not for me but someone / I never could get used to / So now I will refuse to
[Chorus]
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed

         F                      C                Asus4 A
I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head

            F                         C                    Asus4  A
I've got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
