[Intro 1]
[D][G][Bm][Em][G][C][G][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I left
Dec[Bm]atur [Em]helping to for[G]get
Bought [C]a ticket to Skowhegan, [G]Maine[D]
I wound [G]up in [Bm]Seattle too
[Em]drunk and too [D]rattled[G]
To [A]know that I caught the wrong [Dsus4]train[D]

[Verse 2]
I met some [G]fast easy [Bm]women
and some [Em]hard drinking [G]men
Trying [C]to drown the sorrow in [A]me
Aah, I [C]once had [D]a lot but the
[G]fu [Am]ture [G]is [C]not[G]
Not what [D]it used to [C]be
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Aah, [G]the years they went [Bm]by
and I went [Em]steadily [G]down
'Til [C]I had no place I could g[G]o[D]
Made [G]the soup lines by [Bm]morning
and the [Em]dives every [G]night
[A]Wrecking my body and sou[D]l[Em]
[D]And then

[Verse 4]
[G]I met a l[Bm]ady a[D]nd in t[Em]ime
she [G]made me [C]forget
Yes, her love set me [A]free
Aah we [C]ain't got a [D]lot but
the [G]fu [Am]ture [G]is [C]not[G]
Not what [D]it used to [C]be
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Oh, I [Em]never thought I could
[Bm]live to get over
For the [C]past cut a [Dsus4]hole deep[D] in me[G]
[D]But now[Em] there's a chance I'll
be [Bm]here a while [C]longer
At least now I wan[Dsus4]na
be
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Somebody [Bm]told [D]me [Em]that you
were in [D]town[G][C]
I found out [G]today[D][G]
And you know that [Bm]I'm sorry
[Em]to hear that you're [G]down[A]
But I mean what can I [Dsus4]say?[D][Em]
[D]That

[Verse 7]
[G]I know your s[D]orr[Bm]ow a[D]nd
[Em]I know your pa[G]in[C]
Don't you know I know your [A]need?
'Cause I want to [C]love you a [D]lot
but the [G]fu [Am]ture [G]is not[C][G]
Not what [D]it used to [C]be

[Outro 1]
[C][Am][G]
