Hospitals And Jails

       G                                    C
When all the world turns into hospitals and jails
G                                        C
I can always count on your love to be my bail
      G                                  C
And we'll go traveling on from year to year
G            D     Cm
Just you and i, my dear


Verse:
I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons
Of cigarettes, cigarettes
I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says
No regrets, no regrets
I've got your love draped all around me like
A big black cape, a big black cape
All the billboards on the highway say
Don't be late, don't be late
It's just you and i
Continues after the ad
It's just you and i


Chorus


Instrumental (twice through verse chords)


Verse:
Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor
I was listening for your knocking
But you weren't outside my door
And i know that you won't be coming 'round
In the way i want you to
I wish you'd throw your arms around me
But it's not for me
It's not for me
It's not to be
It'll be just me


Chorus:
     G                             C
And i know i never told you how i felt
    G                                                     C
But you could never understand the blues that you have dealt me
     G                                 C
So i'll keep traveling on from year to year
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear
G              D     Cm
Same thing year after year
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear
