[G] You'll wind up in some factory, some no-time job and nowhere else [C] to go.

[G] Walk home to an empty house, sit around all alone by [C] yourself.

[G] Don't go back [C] to Rockville, [D] .
[G] don't go back [C] to [D] Rockville, don't [G] go back to Rockville [D] .

waste another year.
[G] At night I drink myself to sleep and maybe I don't care if you're [C] not here with me.

[G] Cause it's so much easier to handle all my problems if I'm too [C] far out to see.

It's not as though I [C] really [D] need [C] you.
[D] [G] If you were here I'd [C] only [D] need you.
[C] [D] [Am] But [Em] everybody else [Am] in town, they only [Em] wanna bring [C] me down and that's not how it [D] ought to be.
Well I know it might [C] sound strange [Bm] but I [Em] believe you'll be coming back [D] if you're [C] too long.

and [C] .
waste another year.
