Barely Out Of Tuesday

A                    Em
   Woke up Wednesday morning
               G
Staring at the ceiling
             D                 
Hoping for deliverance from the 
              A
distances in you
                        Em
This room feels like an oven
            G
Somewhere south of nowhere
   D
North of nothing


A                        Em
   And I'm barely out of Tuesday
                    G
Seen seven hours of Wednesday
D
   And I guess I've got regrets
A                      Em
   Well, maybe you could leave a 
light on
G                D
Leave a light on for me


[CHORUS]

Em      G       D             A
Can you see her waiting there 
           Em
down by the sea?
       G                D         
With a hat on above her eyes that 
       A
are looking for me
Em     G      D            A    
If you see me coming home, turn 
   Em
me away
                   G
Everybody tries to go back somewhere
 someday


[VERSE]

A                      Em
   She kept me at a distance
                    G           
And fifty-two weeks later, we're 
 D
still the same
Continues after the ad
A                       Em   
   I'm standing in my basement, 
             G
making my arrangements
                    D
And waiting for the telephone to 
ring, to ring, to ring


A                      Em        
   So I left for Minnesota where 
                       G
the weather's getting colder
              D
And people are changing
A                        Em
   Well, maybe you could leave a 
light on
G                    D
Leave a light on for me


[CHORUS]

    Em      G       D             
Oh, can you see her waiting there 
A           Em
down by the sea?
           G          D           
And have arrangements made there 
      A
for welcoming me
    Em     G      D            A
And if you see me coming home, 
       Em
turn me away
                   G
Everybody tries to go back somewhere
 someday


[BRIDGE]

Bm              F#m              
And if all this distance ain't 
    G            D
gonna bring you to me
Bm              Em                
Then what's the point of all this 
G
patience?
Bm              F#m            G
It's not your nature, you just 
               D
keep what you need
    G            D           Em  
And you got some pictures of me
   G



[VERSE]

A                      Em
   I woke up Wednesday morning
                   G
Sometime Wednesday evening
             D                     
Hoping for a piece of something 
       A
easy to believe
                         Em
When you live out on the border
                  G
Of everything and nothing
                    D
There's nothing but waking and 
dreaming


A                            Em
   And I'm barely out of Tuesday
             G
No one to receive me
              D
And nothing is changing
A                        Em
   Well, maybe you could leave a 
light on
G                D
Leave a light on for me


[CHORUS]

    Em      G       D             
Oh, can you see her waiting there 
A           Em
down by the sea?
          G                    
There's a light on, but there's 
 D         A
nobody waiting for me
    Em     G      D            A
And if you see me coming home, 
       Em
turn me away
                   G               
Everybody tries to go back 
      Em
somewhere someday
                   G               
Everybody tries to go back 
      Em
somewhere someday
                   G               
Everybody tries to go back 
      Em
somewhere someday
                   G
Everybody tries to go back somewhere
