  G              C                     Em               
I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say
     G                 C                Em               
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey
Am
I guess you didn't see it coming

Someone's gotten used to slumming
G
Dreaming of the golden years
G7M
I see you had to change careers
Am        
Far away, but we both know it's somewhere

G                C                 Em             
I saw you on the back page of some pre press yesterday
G                     C                Em              
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing short of love for pain
Am
I know you from another picture

Of someone with the most convictions
G
We used to read the funny papers
G7M
Fooled around and pulled some capers
Am
Not today, send a message to her
D                          D7
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her
F                 C                A9  A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
F                            C                        A9  A
I've got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
G              C                 Em            
I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray
G                 C                 Em          
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay
Am
What happened to the funny papers
Am
Smiling was your money maker
G
Someone oughta situate her
G7M
Find a way to educate her
Am           
All the way, time to come and find you
D                            D7
You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do
F                 C                 A9 A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
F                              C                 A9 A
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head

( D  Am  Em  Am  C  D )

G                C                    Em           Em
I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange
G                C              Em           Em
You were getting married and it felt so very strange
Am
I guess I didn't see it coming
Am
Now I guess it's me who's bumming
G
Dreaming of the golden years
G7M
You and I were mixing tears
Am
Not today, not for me but someone
D                          D7
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to
F                 C                 A9 A
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed
F                              C                 A9 A
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
F                              C                        A9  A
I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead

( Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am )
