Start Jamming...
[E]
[A] I [E] [D] think I'll go back home again.
Everyone here has said all they had [A] to say.
[D] Before the snow sets in.
Gonna find me a room with a view like [A] myself away.
[G#m] And I'll sit there [C#m] in my room for the [Bm] whole damn winter [F#m] time.
[C#m] I got too many questions without answers.
[Bm] Lord, I gotta clear my [F#m] mind.
[D] And that lonesome bell keeps ringing.
[E] And this voice in my head keeps singing.
[A] Get back to the shelter.
You gotta scroll down for a while.
I've been living so helter-skelter.
[E] Somehow losing time.
[A]
[B] [D] [A]
[E] [D] Standing at the airline gate again.
With my heart in my hands and I'm watching the [A] endless sky.
[D] Look at all the jumbles in the rain.
Gonna sleep till she'll pull and forget all this [A] fear I've fly-y-y-y.
[C#m] I don't wanna go babe, but I've [Bm] been going nowhere.
[F#m] [C#m] And it's getting very close to the point [B] where you know I just don't care.
[D] And there's no sense in you waiting.
Cause [E] I'm through with hesitating.
[A] Get back to the shelter.
[E] You gotta scroll down for a while.
I've [D] been living so helter-skelter.
[E] Somehow losing time.
[A] Get back to the shelter.
[E] You gotta scroll down for a while.
[D] I've been living so helter-skelter.
[E] Somehow losing time.
You better get back.
Get [Em] back.
You better get back.
[D#] Get back.
Get back [E] to the shelter.
You gotta [C#] scroll down for a while.
I've been living so helter-skelter.
Somehow [Em] losing time.
[A]
[D] [A] You better get back.
[E] Get back to [A] the shelter.
[Em] Get back.
[A] Get
[E] back.
Get back to the [A] shelter.
[Em] Get back.
[A] Get back to the shelter.
