(Don't Go Back To) Rockville (Single Edit) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for [G]the bus
[D]Going to a place that's far
So far away and if that's not [G]enough
[A]Going where [G]nobody
[F#m]says hell[Bm]o
They don't talk to anybody
[A]they [G]don't know

[Verse 2]
[G]
You'll [D]wind up in some factory
That's full- time filth and
nowhere left to [G]go
[D]Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by your[G]self
[A]I know it might sound [G]strange,
but [F#m]I believ[Bm]e
You'll be coming back be
[Am]fore [F]too long

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille[G]

[Verse 4]
And waste another year
[G]
At [D]night, I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care that
you're not [G]here with me
'Cause it's [D]so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far [G]out to sea
But [A]something better [G]hap
pen [F#m]soon
Or it's [Bm]gonna be too late
to [A]bring [G]you back

[Verse 5]
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille[G]

[Verse 6]
And waste another year
[D]
It's not as though I really [G]need [A]you[G][A][D]
If you were here, I'd only [G]bleed [A]you
[G]But [A]eve[Em]rybody el[Bm]se in town[Em]
only [Bm]wants to bring you [G]down
And that's not how it [A]ought to be
I know it might sound [G]strange,
but [F#m]I believ[Bm]e
You'll be coming back
[A]bef[G]ore too long

[Verse 7]
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to Rock[Em]ville
[A]An [G]d waste another year
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille
[D]Don't go back to [Em]Rockv[A]ille[G]

[Outro 1]
And waste another year
[G][A][D]
