G 
I made
a mess of this town
C 
G 
Now every sidewalk crack
Either knocks me down,
C 
G 
C 
G 
C

or breaks somebody's back
And every face I see,
C 
G 
as I look around
Gm 
Says it's time to leave,
G

Well, spring in the step
F 
and the song on my lips
C 
G 
C 
I came and found out how
F 
big this town really is
C 
G 
C 
Confusing lovers and
F 
C 
confusing friends
G 
C 
And making the same
F 
mistakes again and again
C 
Am 
G 
C 
Till all the guys at the bar
D 
Am 
G 
C 
Well, they stay where they are
D

And  all the girls on the block

You know how girls talk

Now the lights   on the street

Incandescent and mean
C 
D 
Am 
Cause the word got around

people you know
C 
G 
C 
Some keep you on your feet
F 
C 
G

F 
And some don't let them go

That I  get the means to be what I

And a whiskey bun

Am 
G 
C 
And there'll be  a day
D 
Am 
G 
C 
When I come back around
D 
Am 
And whiz why I say
G 
C 
D 
It's good what they have missed
