Dont Go Back To Rockville - REM
(Verse 1)
[E]Looking at your watch a third time
[E]waiting in the station for the b[A]us[Asus][A][Asus]
[E]Going to a place that's far,
[E]so far away and if that's not en[A]ough[Asus][A][Asus]
[B]Going where n[A]obody s[G#m]ays hel[C#m]lo,
[C#m]they don't talk to any[Bm]body they do[A]n't know
[E]You'll wind up in some factory
[E]that's full time filth and nowhe[A]re l[Asus]eft to [A]go[Asus]
[E]Walk home to an empty house,
[E]sit around all by yourself[A][Asus][A][Asus]
[B]I know it might sound [A]strange but [G#m]I bel[C#m]ieve
[C#m]You'll be coming back [Bm]before too l[A]ong
(Chorus)
[E]Dont go back to R[F#m]ockvill[B]e,
[E]dont go back to R[F#m]ockvi[B]lle,
[E]dont go back to R[F#m]ockvil[B]le
[A]And waste another year
(Verse 2)
[E]At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
[E]I don't care that you're not her[A]e wi[Asus]th me[A][Asus]
[E]'Cause it's so much easier to handle
[E]All my problems if I'm too far o[A]ut t[Asus]o sea[A][Asus]
[B]But something[A] better[G#m] happen[C#m] soon
[C#m]Or it's gonna be too late to [Bm]bring me bac[A]k
(chorus)
[E]Dont go back to R[F#m]ockvill[B]e,
[E]dont go back to R[F#m]ockvi[B]lle,
[E]dont go back to R[F#m]ockvil[B]le
[A]And waste another year
(Bridge)
[E]It's not as though I really [A]need [B]you[A][B]
[E]If you were here I'd only b[A]leed [B]you[A][B]
[F#m]But every[C#m]body else in [F#m]town only [C#m]wants to bring you [A]down and
That's not [A]how it ought to [B]be
Well I know [B]it might sound [A]strange but I[G#m] believ[C#m]e
[C#m]You'll be coming back [Bm]before too l[A]ong
