Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for the [F]bus
[C]Going to a place that's far
So far away and if that's not e[F]nough
[G]Going where no[F]body [Em]says hel[Am]lo
They don't talk to anybod[Gm]y they don't kn[F]ow

[Verse 2]
You'll [C]wind up in some factory
That's full-time filth and nowhere left to [F]go
[C]Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by your[F]self
I [G]know it might sound [F]strange,
but [Em]I beli[Am]eve
You'll be coming back be[Gm]fore too [F]long

[Chorus 1]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[F]And waste another year

[Verse 3]
At [C]night, I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care
that you're not [F]here with me
'Cause it's [C]so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far [F]out to sea
But [G]something better [F]happen [Em]soon
Or it's [Am]gonna be too late to [Gm]bring you [F]back

[Chorus 2]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[F]And waste another year

[Bridge 1]
[C]It's not as though I really nee[F]d you[G][F][G]
[C]If you were here, I'd only ble[F]ed you[G][F][G]
[Dm]But everybody [Am]else in town[Dm]
only [Am]wants to bring you [F]down
And that's not how it ought to [G]be

[Verse 4]
I [G]know it might sound [F]strange,
but [Em]I beli[Am]eve
You'll be coming back be[Gm]fore too [F]long

[Chorus 3]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G][G]
[F]And waste another year

[Chorus 4]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[C]Don't go back to [Dm]Rockville[G]
[F]And waste another year
[C]
