Dm7              Cm7
They pay me not to come home
Bbm7
           Keeping me stoned
  Fm7
I won't run away


              Dm7         Cm7
They say it's easy to get
Bbm7
       Stuck in this town
           Ebm7
Just like John


           Dm7         Cm7         Bbm7
You know I give it all up for the stage
      Dm7    Cm7         Bbm7
They fill my cup in the cage
              Dm7          Fm7           Bbm7
It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
         Fm7     Dm7       Bbm7           Fm7
To hold yourself up not a crime here you know
       Bb          Dm
At the end of the world


      Dm7      Cm7        Bbm7
And I kick my foot at the lights
   Ebm7      Cm7    Cm7
I breathe it in all night
          Dm7        Cm7    Bbm7
There's a light on a canvas tree
Ebm7       Cm7             Cm7
Money from home supporting me


            Dm7              Cm7
They pay me not to come home
Bbm7
            I won't eat crow
      Fm7
I'll stay away

           Dm7        Cm7     Bbm7     Fm7
And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
Dm7       Cm7         Bb          Dm
All roads lead to the end of the world


   Dm7           Cm7              Fm7       Bbm7
I sewed a little luck up into the hem of my gown
         Dm7               Cm7     Fm7    Bbm7
The only way down from the gallows is to swing
   Dm7      Cm7      Fm7     Bbm7
And I wear boots instead of high heels
              Dm7       Cm   Cm7   Bbm7       Fm7     Dm7
And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
