[Intro]
Dmaj7 C#m F# G#
C# A# F# G#

[Verse 1]
Emaj7
Looking back, I should have known
A E
All the nights that I spent out in space
Emaj7
If in fact I had said no
A E
What becomes of this? It’s hard to say

[Bridge]
F#m7 A E
I’ll feel better with the breeze on my back
F#m7 A E
And I’ll sleep better knowing it’s in the past

[Verse 2]
Emaj7
Looking back, I should have known
A E
All the nights that I spent in outer space
Emaj7
Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack
A E
Out in the back of my brain

[Chorus]
A E
When you walk awaaay
A E
It better be for good

[Verse 3]
E Emaj7
I put my money on a horse
A E
Who won’t be steered on any course or lane
E B A
And if I ever see a dime
F#m7 B A E
You’d take that money to divide and separate

[Chorus]
A E
When you walk awaaay
A E
Better be for good

[Bridge]
F#m7 A E/G#
I know you’ll be there in the rain
A F#m7 A Bsus4 B
Glowing like the first night, telling me you’ve cha – anged
F#m7 A E/G#
I know you’ll be there in the rain
A F#m7 A G# G#7
Glowing like the first night, trying to explaaain

[Chorus]
A E
That when you walk awaaay
A E
It’s gonna be for good
A E
You were my Tom Verlaine
A E
Just sitting on the hood
