Mason Jennings

When all the world turns into hospitals and jails
I can always count on your love to be my bail
And we'll go traveling on from year to year
Just you and i, my dear
Verse:
I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons
Of cigarettes, cigarettes
I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says
No regrets, no regrets
I've got your love draped all around me like
A big black cape, a big black cape
All the billboards on the highway say
Don't be late, don't be late
It's just you and i
It's just you and i
Chorus
Instrumental (twice through verse chords)
Verse:
Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor
I was listening for your knocking
But you weren't outside my door
And i know that you won't be coming 'round
In the way i want you to
I wish you'd throw your arms around me
But it's not for me
It's not for me
It's not to be
It'll be just me
Chorus:
And i know i never told you how i felt
But you could never understand the blues that you have dealt me
So i'll keep traveling on from year to year
It'll be just me, my dear
It'll be just me, my dear
Same thing year after year
It'll be just me, my dear
End on G
