[Intro]: Em Cmaj7 D7 G F C Cmaj7
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 pulled some capers Am Not today, I send a message to her D A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her F C Asus4 A Down home country, I rest my face on your bed F C Asus4 A Well I've got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead 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, and 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 All the way, time to come and find you D You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do F C Asus4 A Down home country, I rest my face on your bed F C Asus4 A Well I've met my soul mate country, and I left it all for your head
[Interlude]: D Am Em Am C D
G C Em I saw you in the church yard, 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 Not today, not for me but someone D I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to F C Asus4 A Down home country, I rest my face on your bed F C Asus4 A Well I've met my soul mate country, and I left it all for your head F C Asus4 A Well I've got my best foot forward, and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
