Intro EEAE EEAE E A E She said, "There are things about you I don't really understand." C#m A E I am drinking in the afternoon, got whiskey on my breath. E A E And as I walk through Greenwich Village, with a suitcase full of clothes, C#m A E I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go. C#m A E I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go. A C#m Will you come for me on days like this when I am broken down? A C#m 'Cause I've been strangled by an emptiness that's still choking me now. A C#m B A I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around, C#m B? E So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now? E A E Then I try to call my mother, but she's not around to talk, C#m A E So I wander through the fading day, oblivious and lost.

C#m A E Point my headlights towards the interstate, it's time for my escape. A C#m I am sorry for the things I've done; don't try to let you down.

E A E I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl I used to know, C#m A E And another of my family, it's been too long since I've been home. E A E Now I'm waiting on a train.

A C#m You are somewhere far away from me; I'm here all by myself. A C#m Through the space between the two of us, wish I had something else.
