Intro 1

Well,

Verse 1
Am 
G 
I can't turn around and I can't go back
Am 
When the snows come
down here in Cadillac
G 
And it's so many miles up
Am 
to Marquette
F 
And the night is coming but
Em 
it hasn't fallen
F 
And I know you need me but
Em 
Am 
G 
you just forget
C 
G 
I wish you loved me, I wish you did
Everybody warned me,
D 
Am 
D 
look out kid
G 
Watch the waitress lean
against the fridge of death
Am 
The only past I've got
is written down somewhere
G 
Am 
She argues with the cook and I agree
F 
I'm just sitting at the counter
dreaming of Italy
Em 
F 
And counting all my friends
who claim they don't know
Em 
Am 
G 
me
C 
G 
Nothing lasts,
C 
G 
though I wish it did
D 
Everybody warned me, look out kid
G 
In the railroad flats they talk in tongues
Am 
And nobody breathes till the song is sung
G 
You can look around,
Am 
but there's nothing here to steal
F 
Now take a look in the mirror
Am 
F 
Em 
and tell me how I feel
F 
Coughing up blood in a motel
Am 
six
F 
Em 
Am 
G 
thinkin' this time it's for real
C 
G 
I wish you knew me
C 
G 
like the desk clerk did
D 
But he tried to warn me, look out kid
G 
This morning got stolen by the paper boy
Am 
As the wind blew in from Illinois,
G 
I just stayed in bed
Am 
And waited for the chambermaid
F 
Thinking maybe I could
Em 
talk her into a trade
F 
Find a job for her
Em 
Am 
G 
as long as we both get paid
C 
G 
C 
I wish you heard me, I wish you did
G 
But she tried to warn me,
D 
Am 
D 
look out, kid
G 
In the rolling snow, each town's the same
Am 
And I can get called by a hundred names
G 
And I ain't seen you
Am 
since I can't remember when
F 
But I've got a French postcard
Em 
and a German pen
F 
And I'll finally send you all the words
Em 
Am 
G 
to you when again
So you can't sing it just like Hank did,
Dm 
sign right here and look out kid.
D 
Dm 
F 
Em 
F 
Em 
Am 
you
