Am          G                    C C/B
 We've seen good days in the past
Am          G                  C                  C/B
 One too many bottles shared beneath the underpass
Am        G                 C                 F                 Am              G
 It blows in this town, and oh, she'd love to walk you down the tracks she grew out of


[Pre-Chorus]
F           G                    Am   Am/G
 So keep my name, I'm coming back
F            G                  Am          Am/G
 The rumours in this town never seem to last
F             G              C                  F
 And she knew just enough to fill her lungs and tell us off
       Am                               F      G     G7
 Leave gold in the hills for islands in the midwest


[Chorus]

C
Sorry I waited
Em
In this southern state
Am
I was seeing double
F
And you were running late
C
They were wasted
Em
Two looks on their face
Am
Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
Someday I'll get away


[Verse]

Am        F                  C                 G
 If I had warmer clothes I'd wander down these frozen roads with you
Am        F              C  G/B
 Barely high enough to see
Am                 F              C                 Am
 And slow, the darkness goes, and not a soul would even know
    F        G                 C
 If you were hanging next to me


[Verse]

Am           G                 C  C/B
 She drew space between the houses
Am            G             C  C/B
 Of all the faces you let in
Am                  G           C                 F
 But good things stand alone in two-bit towns and broken homes
      Am                         G
 When no-one waits to see what's next


[Pre-Chorus]

F          G                    Am  Am/G
 It's just two roads cut in half
F                 G              Am         Am/G
 Dust still coats the shapes and photographs
F            G                 C               F
 And she was free at last of living with an epitaph
       Am                   G    G7
 While you got old, she got fast


[Chorus]

C
 Sorry I waited
Em
 In this southern state
Am
 I was seeing double
F
 And you were running late
C
 They were wasted
Em
 Two looks on their face
Am
 Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
 Someday I'll get away
C
 Sorry I waited
Em
 In this southern state
Am
 I was seeing double
F
 And you were running late
C
 They were wasted
Em
 Two looks on their face
Am
 Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
 Someday I'll get away
