INTRO: G  D  C  D   G  D  C  D  G   (2x)

     D          C           D         G
I've passed the foregone conclusions
          D         C            D      G
My hand's sore from carrying the world around
     D           C           D         G
I've cracked the art of self-delusion
        D   C               D       G
But I'm out hanging off the edge of town


D           C             D         G
Half-baste, vagabonds and vagrants
      D      C             D       G
"I'll stay", is a phrase I haven't heard
  D     C             D         G
I could sink into the pavement
      D         C               D    Em
But I slipped into the joint of no return


CHORUS:
                D         C
In the joint of no return
                     G              Em
I hope that you will find me there
                  D
And you avoid the random burn
   C                           D
No second-guessing you can't compare
       C               D
Your regrets to wisdom earned
                  G
In the joint of no return
       D  C
(Joint of no return)
           G
Joint of no return
       D  C          D  G
(Joint of no return)


     D           C             D      G
Hold on, there's hunger in the corner
   D   C            D    G
Oh no, I am still a no-account
  D      C              D      G
Tonight, I will be your server
     D        C           D      Em
Look back and overpay the whole amount


CHORUS:
                D         C
In the joint of no return
                     G              Em
I hope that you will find me there
                  D
And you avoid the random burn
   C                           D
No second-guessing you can't compare
       C               D
Your regrets to wisdom earned
                  G
In the joint of no return
       D  C
(Joint of no return)
           G
Joint of no return
       D  C          D  Em
(Joint of no return)


BRIDGE:
                  D                      Em
My friends, we're all potential rumours
               D                       C
Know now, that nothing in the future's firm
          G                        F
I will be passing out the blinders
          Am                   G  D C D G
Out here, in the joint of no return______

     D          C           D         G
I've passed the foregone conclusions
          D         C            D      G
My hand's sore from carrying the world around
     D           C           D         G
I've cracked the art of self-delusion
    D   C               D       G     D  C
I'm out hanging off the edge of town
        D       G     C  D  G
Off the edge of town
