Lyrics
She got out of town
on a rail way New York bound.
Took all ex cept my name,
an oth er (B)al i en on Broad way.
Well, (E)some things in this world you just can’t change.
(F#m)Some things you can’t see un til it gets too late.
And, (E)ba by, ba by, ba by, when all your (D)love is gone, who will save me from (A)all I’m up a gainst out in this world?
And may be, may be, may be you’ll find (D)some thin’ that’s e nough to keep you.
But if the (A)bright lights don’t re ceive you, you should (B)turn your self a round and come on home.
I got a hole in me now.
Hey, I got a scar I can talk a bout.
She keeps a pic ture of (Bsus)me
in her a (B)part ment in the (Asus2)cit y.
But (E)some things in this world, man, they don’t make (Bsus)sense.
(F#m11)Some things you don’t need un til they leave you.
Then the things that you miss, you say....
(E)Ba by, ba by, ba by, when all your (D)love is gone, who will save me from (A)all I’m up a gainst out in this world?
And may be, may be, may be you’ll find (D)some thing that’s e nough to keep you.
But if the (A)bright lights don’t re ceive you, you should (B)turn your self a round and come on home.
Let that (B5)cit y take you in.
Come on (B5)home.
Let that (B5)cit y spit you out.
Come on (B5)home.
Let that (B5)cit y take you (D5)down,

For God’s sake, turn a round.
(A)bright lights don’t re ceive you, well,
turn your self a round, girl.
Come on home.
Yeah, come on home.
(A)Ba by, ba by, ba by, ba by, come on home.
Yeah, come on home.
