[Intro] C Bm F [Verse]
             G                Bm
Fifteen past Midnight, on the west side, 

      F
we're dodging shady blocks like land-mines.

C                Bm
Scum hides under streetlights 

         F
and with gun in hand they caught me tonight.

         Am             F
We won't capsize in the meantime. 

         C                    G
We won't break down; we'll be all right. 

            C                 Bm
We'll just dust off and head back inside. 

           F
He didn't know it yet, man, but Dylan was right 
[Chorus]
                  C    F            C
Because it's all over now Baby Blue.

              F                G    
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you.

           F         Am          
We'll stay bone dry despite

    G            Em
The red eyes and long nights.

C        F                Am            G
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true.
[Post-Chorus] C Bm Em C Bm F [Verse]
C      Em     F
Come on, man. You've been a good friend. 

C           Bm            F
I had that dream where we found you again.

C             F
Come on, man. We didn't stand a chance. 

C                                F
It broke my heart to watch them ride you down Mifflin.

C         Bm        F            C
Sometimes, at night, I swear I hear you screaming,

C
  "No! 

Bm
  No!

F 
  Don't let me go..."
[Chorus]
      C       F             C
it's all over now Baby Blue.

              F                G    
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you.

           F   Am          
We'll stay bone dry 

  G     Em
long nights.

C        F                   G
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true.

C                         F
Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever. 

C                   F
We're never (never) getting caught again. 

G                              Am
So, if you see them tell them (So, if you see them tell them)

C                         F
Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever. 

C                   F
We're never (never) getting caught again. 

G                             
So, if you see them tell them... 

Am
If you see them tell them...

F
If you see them tell them...

C
"Man, I just want my bike back."
