[Intro] G/D [Verse]
 Am6    Bm#5     C6          D6
I hear that you got yourself a house

 Am6         Bm#5       C6            D6
And all your friends you finally figured out

           Am6*        G             C      G/B     Am*
But you go out in the night til you got no place to go

   Am6*           G                    C       G/B     Am*
I see you on the corner where you're trying to use the phone

    Am6  Bm#5      C6             D6
And everyone will say you missed your chance

    Am6  Bm#5      C6              D6
And everyone will say you've lost you're edge

               Am6*                  G              C      G/B   Am*
But it's just something that you've heard about a thousand time before

     Am6*             G                    C     G/B     Am*
And every time you're falling then you'll see me on the floor

     Bm
And someday when you turn around

        G/D              G/D
You'll take a wife, and start a life

   Bm/D G/B  Am
It won't be long

 Bm/D G/B  Am
Won't be long
[Instrumental] G/D [Verse]
 Am6    Bm#5     C6          D6
I hear that you got yourself a job

    Am6      Bm#5         C6       D6
And all your friends you finally nailed down

           Am6*        G             C      G/B     Am*
But you go out in the night til you got no place to go

 Am6                 G              C       G/B     Am*
Something you ain't doing right is haunting you at home

     Am6       Bm#5     C6             D6
Now we've been hanging round for quite a while

    Am6      Bm#5     C6          D6
So let's get out of here and take a drive

       Am6*       G
On the parkway tonight

         C       G/B     Am*
You can hear the engines roar

      Am6*                G                   C       G/B     Am*
The flashing lights will nab you when you're driving your way home

     Bm
And someday when you turn around you'll see the door is closing
[Outro] G/D G/D G/D
