Lyrics

I got e nough on my mind

that when she pulls me by the hair she has n’t much to hold on to.

She keep in’ count on her hand, one, two, three days that I been (CN.C.)sleep in’ on

my side.

I fin ished kiss in’ my death

so now I head back up the steps.

Think in’ a bout where I been,

I mean the sun was nev er like this.

I wan na feel with the sea son, I guess it makes sense ’cause my life’s be (F)come as (Gm)vap id as a (Bb)night out (F)in Los (Gm)An gel es.

And (Bb)I just (F)wan na (Gm)stay in (F)bed

and (Bb)hold you like I (F)used to.

You (Bb)know that I am home.

So (Bb)dar lin’ if you (F)love me would you (C)let me know.

Or, (F)go on, go on, go on if you were think in’ that the (Gm)worst is yet to come.

(Bb)Why am I the one al ways (Bb)pack ing up my stuff?

(F)For once, for once, for once I get the feel in’ that I’m (Gm)right where I be long.

(Bb)Why am I the one al ways (Bb)pack ing up my (Csus)stuff?

She got e nough on her mind

that she feel no sor row.

I let my fate fill the air

so now she’s roll in’ down her win dow.

Nev er been one to hold on but I need a last breath.

So I ask if (F)she re (Gm)mem bers when she (Bb)used to (F)come and (Gm)vis it me.

We were (Bb)fools to (F)think that (Gm)noth ing (F)could go wrong.

(F)Go on, go on, go on if you were think in’ that the (Gm)worst is yet to come.

(Bb)Why am I the one al ways (Bb)pack ing up my stuff?

(F)For once, for once, for once I get the feel in’ that I’m (Gm)right where I be long.

(Bb)Why am I the one al ways (Bb)pack ing up my stuff (Csus)?

I (Bb)think I kind a like it but I (Gm)might a had too (C)much.

I’ll move back (F)down

to this (Bb)west ern town

when they (Gm)find me out.

Make no mis (Bb)take a bout it.

I’ll move back (F)down

to this (Bb)west ern town

when they (Gm)find me out.

Make no mis (Bb)take a bout it, I’ll move back.

(F)Go on, go on, go on if you were think in’ that the (Gm)worst is yet to come.

(Bb)Why am I the (F)one al ways (Bb)pack ing up my (Csus)stuff?

(F)down.
