[Intro 1]
[G][D][C]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Dana,
I don't get de[D]pressed anymore
Ex[C]cept possibly this December
at [D]the Delaware shore
[G]Maybe missing number[D]s on
the motel [C]doors
The toy section at this [D]drug store
Oth[G]erwise I'm pretty much [D]cured
[C]Been getting out of bed
before noon [D]now
Gonna [G]find a new place pretty [D]soon [C]now
The whole thing's moving up[D]town
I'm [Em]sorry about the way
that I scared [C]you
I'm sorry [Em]that I wasn't
in church [C]since
Spent way [G]too much time [D]with people
Without any [C]substance
I've [Em]decided I'm gonna push forward
[C]I'm committed[Em] to
making the [C]change
But [G]you gotta remember
I [D]never go out in [C]the rain,
and it's been [D]raining all day

[Verse 2]
And my jack[G]et got nicked
from [D]the coat check
[C]The curtains can't keep out the gra[D]y
The um[G]brellas that you get
at the [D]drug store
Always blow the [C]wrong [D]way
[G]Dana, I don't drink [D]nearly as much
[C]One or two nights of
the week [D]at the most
[G]I know I used to be such
[D]a monster
[C]The city's still lousy with [D]ghosts
I'm [Em]sorry about that
fight in the [C]taxi
Y'know, [Em]that probably
just wasn't my [C]night
If you'd [G]just agree to come [D]see me
I could try to make it all [C]right
I've [Em]decided I'm gonna back [C]off now
Heard [Em]you turned that old
boy into a hus[C]band
Now you're [G]out in the county
Hanging out [D]with some people of sub

[Verse 3]
[G]Dana, I'm done with [D]the breakdowns
[C]But the winter's pretty
weird at [D]the shore
You [G]never really told me what it [D]was
You cut me off for, [C]and I'm still not [D]sure
So I've de[Em]cided that I'd
call and just [C]check in
If I was [Em]good enough for you
back [C]then
[G]You shouldn't be ashamed
to bring [D]me around
To [C]your new friends
I've been [G]asking around
[D]For some sort of system [C]to trust in
Maybe [G]you could put me in [D]touch
With some people of sub[C]stance
Spent [G]way too much time [D]with people

[Outro 1]
Without any substance
