[Verse 1]
G          D           
I was just leaving.
                  G               
I was just up and walking,
              D                   
When someone said something.
                 G      
It was likely my name.
             D                 
But I didn’t turn then.
               G          
I just kept on walking.
          D          
Got to my car and,
               G           
I am presently driving.

[Chorus]
               Bm                D                                      
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
                 Bm                                                    
With something I owe you.
                    D                                                 
I think you already know that.
            Bm                                                         
I know I’ll regret it.
            D                                                        
Not living with you.
                   Bm                              D                    
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
         D   D/C# G7/B                                                        
She says no, no,  no.

[Verse 2]
                    D                                                 
There’s this cop in London
                   G                                                  
He’s got it in for me.
                  D                                                   
I known him since high school.
                      G                                               
He still thinks we’re nineteen.
             D                                                        
I can’t live nowhere,
                    G                                                 
Where you could run into me.
                    D                                                 
‘Cause I think it’s likely
                     G                                                
That you’ll make some big scene.

[Chorus]
               Bm                D                                      
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
                 Bm                                                    
With something I owe you.
                    D                                                 
I think you already know that.
            Bm                                                         
I know I’ll regret it.
            D                                                        
Not living with you.
                   Bm                              D                    
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
         D   D/C# G7/B                                                        
She says no, no,  no.

[Bridge]
F#                            Bm                                         
Out of all the places I could run,
F#                              Bm A                                       
Lonely’s destination number one.
     F#                            Bm                                    
And I’ll deny it all a little more.
F#                                      Bm         A                      
Yeah I done it, but I don’t know what I did it for.

[Verse 3]
                D                                               
Stopped at this truck stop
             G                                                         
Right outside Woodstock,
                D                                                     
I was gonna get something,
                        G                                             
But the whole thing was closed.
                           D                                          
And then I thought I might turn back.
                          G                                           
And then I though I might call you.
             D                                                        
But I didn’t do that.
            G                                                         
I just kept going.

[Chorus]
              Bm                D                                                                      
And darlin I can’t go back to Petrolia
                 Bm                                                    
With something I owe you.
                    D                                                 
I think you already know that.
                Bm                                                     
You know that I love you
                   D                                                  
I just cannot live with you.
                   Bm                                  D                
And you’ll have to sell that house and get lost in the city.
         D   D/C# G7/B                                                            
She says no, no, no.   
D   D/C# G7/B
No, no, no.
F#  Bm
No, no
