[Intro 1]
[D][G][Dm][D][Dm][G][D][G][Dm][G]
[Dm][G][Ddim][G][Dm][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, [D]I'm
walking [G]on down Virginia [Dm]Av en[G]ue
[Dm]Trying to fi[G]nd somebody to
tell my [D]troubles [G]to.
Harold's club is [C]closing,

[Verse 2]
And everybody's go[G]ing on [C]home:
[F]What's a poor boy [A]to do?[Asus4]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]I'll just [E]get on back [G]into my short,
Make it [Dm]back to [G]the fort
[Dm]Sleep off [G]all the crazy lizards
[D]inside [G]of my brain.
There's got to be some [C]place
That's [G]better than [C]this
This [F]life I'm leading's driving
me [A]in [Asus4]sane

[Verse 4]
[Dm]And let [E]me tell you I'm drea[Abdim]ming[G]
[Dm][G]

[C][G][C][F][A][G]
Let [E]me tell you that I'm

[Verse 5]
[Ddim]
dreaming [G]to the twilight,
[Ddim]This town has got [G]me down.
[Dm]I've [G]seen all the highlights,
I've been [D]walking [G]all around
I won't make [C]a fuss,
I'll take a [G]Greyhound [C]bus,
[F]Carry me away from here:
[A]Tell me, what [G]have I [Dm]got to lose?
[E]Cause I'm

[Verse 6]
[D]walking [G]on down
Columbus [Ddim]Aven ue[G]
[Dm]The bars a[G]re all closing,
Cause it's [Dm]quarter [G]to two
Every town I go [C]to is like
a [G]lock without [C]a key
[F]Those I leave behind are
catching [A]up on me,
[F]Let me tel[E]l you they're catching
up [Abdim]on me,[G]
They're catching up on [D]me[G]
Catching up on [D]me,
[G]catching up on me,[D][G]
Catching up on [Dm]me.
[Dm][Dm]
