C       D        G
And I looked away from you
      C        D     G
And I found a better way to do it
         C         D       G                   C
And I've seen some younger people happy as can be
    D   G                       D7 G7 C             D7 G7 C
But not especially happier than me,    happier than me

[Verse]
        C          D        G
You may run like a bitch in heat
         C      D         G                       C
But it's fun to sometimes try to retreat from the sun
            D     G                       D7 G7 C
'Cause it's awful lonely where I'm coming from
                 D7 G7 C
Where I'm coming from

[Break]
Am D7 C G
Am D7 C G

[Chorus]
                 D7 G7 C
Retreat from the sun
                 D7 G7 C
Retreat from the sun
                 D7 G7 C
Retreat from the sun
                 D7 G7 C
Retreat from the sun
