R.E.M.

^E Looking at your watch at the time
Waiting in a station for the ^A bus
^E Going to a place that’s far, so far away
And if that`s not e ^A nough

^H Going where no ^A body ^G#mi says hel ^C#mi lo
Don’t talk to ^H me, buddy, they don’t ^A know

You’ll wind up in some factory
That’s built on filth with nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by yourself

I know it might sound strange
But I believe you`ll
Be coming back before too long

^E Don’t Go Back to ^F#mi Rockvil ^H le
^E Don’t go back to ^F#mi Rockvil ^H le

^A And waste another ^E year

At night Idrink myself to sleep
And pretend I don`t care
That you`re not here with me

Cos it’s so much easier to handle all my problems
If I’m too far out to sea
Something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back.

^E It’s not as though I really ^A need ^{H A H} you
^E If you were here I`d only bl ^A eed y ^{H A H} ou
^F#mi And every ^C#mi body else in ^F#mi town
Only ^C#mi wants to bring you ^A down
And that’s not how it ought to ^H be

Well I know it might sound
strange
But I believe you’ll be coming back before too long

Don’t go back to Rockville... etc
