Dont Go Back To Rockville - REM

(Verse 1)
E
Looking at your watch a third time
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
waiting in the station for the bus
E
Going to a place that's far,
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
so far away and if that's not enough
B            A      G#m    C#m
Going where nobody says hello,
C#m                   Bm          A
they don't talk to anybody they don't know
E
You'll wind up in some factory
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
E
Walk home to an empty house,
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
sit around all by yourself
B                     A           G#m  C#m
I know it might sound strange but I believe
C#m                   Bm          A
You'll be coming back before too long

(Chorus)
E                F#m    B
Dont go back to Rockville,
E                F#m  B
dont go back to Rockville,
E                F#m   B
dont go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year


(Verse 2)
E
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
I don't care that you're not here with me
E
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
E                               A   Asus   A  Asus
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
B            A      G#m    C#m
But something better happen soon
C#m                          Bm          A
Or it's gonna be too late to bring me back

(chorus)
E                F#m    B
Dont go back to Rockville,
E                F#m  B
dont go back to Rockville,
E                F#m   B
dont go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

(Bridge)
E                           A    B    A   B
It's not as though I really need you
E                          A    B    A  B
If you were here I'd only bleed you
F#m      C#m          F#m       C#m                A
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
           A               B
That's not how it ought to be
            B              A            G#m    C#m
Well I know it might sound strange but I believe
C#m                   Bm          A
You'll be coming back before too long

(chorus)
E                F#m    B
Dont go back to Rockville
E                F#m  B
dont go back to Rockville
E                F#m   B
dont go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

E                F#m    B
Dont go back to Rockville
E                F#m  B
dont go back to Rockville
E                F#m   B
dont go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year
