[Db]
See long down the [Ebm] line, about a half a mile or so,
[Gb] Don't really [Ebm] wanna know [Db] where you're going,
Maybe once or twice you'll [Ebm] see,
Time after time I try to [Ab] hold [Bbm] on to what we got,
[Db] But now you're going,
[Gb] And I don't [Ab]
mind about the things you're [Bbm] gonna say, Lord,
[Gb] I gave all [Ab] my money and [Db] my time,
[Bbm]
[Gb] I know it's [Ab] a shame, but I'm giving you [Bbm] back your name,
[Ab] Yeah, [Gb] yeah, yeah,
Guess I'll be on my [Ebm] way, I [Db] won't be back [Ebm] to stay,
[Gb] I guess I'll [Ebm] move along, I'm [Db] looking for a good [Ab]
time,

See long down the line, [Ebm] ain't it funny how the time can go on,
Friends say they told me [Db] so, but it doesn't matter,
It was plain to see that [Ebm] a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea, [Db] I was wishful thinking,
[Gb] I gave [Ab] you my heart [Db] and I tried to make [Bbm] you happy,
[Gb]
And you [Ab] gave me nothing in [Db]
return,
[Bbm] [Gb] You know it ain't so [Ab] hard to say,
But [Db] would you please just [Bbm] go away,
[Ab] [Gb] yeah, yeah,
I've [Db] thrown away [Ebm] the blues, [Db] out of [Ebm] being used,
I want [Db] everyone [Ebm] to know, I'm [Db] looking for a good [Ab] time,
[B]
