Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l,[D][G][D][G][D][G]
I'm [D]walk[G]ing on down Virginia [D]Aven[G] ue
[D]Trying to find [G]somebody to tell
my [D]troubles [G]to.
Harold's club is [C]closing,

[Verse 2]
And everybody's [Gm]going [C]on home:
[F]What's a poor boy to [A]do?
[E]I'll just get

[Verse 3]
on back in[G]to my short,
Make it [D]back to [G]the fort
[D]Sleep [G]off all the crazy lizards
[D]inside [G]of my brain.
There's got to be [C]some place
That's [Gdim]better than t[C]his
This [F]life I'm leading's driving
me in[A]sane
And [E]let me tell you I'm

[Verse 4]
[G]dreaming[Ddim]
[G][Gm][Gdim][Gm][C][F]

[Verse 5]
[F][A]
[E]Let me tell you that
I'm dreaming [G]to the twilight,
This [D]town has [G]got me down.
I've [D]seen [G]all the highlights,
I've been [D]walking [G]all around
I won't make [C]a fuss,
I'll take a [Gm]Greyhound [C]bus,
[F]Carry me away from here:
Tell me, [A]what have I got to lose?
[Asus4]Cause I'm[A]

[Verse 6]
[E]walk[G]ing on down
Colum[D]bus Av[G]enue
[D]The [G]bars are all closing,
Cause it's [D]quarter [G]to two
[Gm]Every town [C]I go to is like a
[Gm]lock without [C]a key
[F]Those I leave behind are catching [A]up on me,
Let me tell you they're catching up on [G]me,
They're catching up [D]on me[G]
Catching up on [D]me,
[G]catching up on me,
Catching up on [D]me.
