C5                  C5
I hid out on the front porch
  C5                 C5
I laid up in my mind
   F5
I looked for me a love
                     C5
The best one I could find
C5
He got himself a ticket
C5              C5
On an international flight
C5        F5
Oh it?s nothing
F5             C5
But a goddamn shame
C5
Is what it is
       F5
Oh it?s nothing
F5             C5
But a goddamn shame

The smell of burnt exhaust
Drifts into the bar
It?s midnight in California
It?s high noon where you are
Motorcycles and booze
Dirty old perfume

Oh it?s nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh it?s nothing
But a goddamn shame

I tried to go to sleep
In my haunted little room
The shadows are churning
In the passage of the moon
It?d break my heart to tell you
I couldn?t come so soon

Oh it?s nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh, it?s nothing
But a goddamn shame

Tell me one more time
Why you went away
It makes a little sense
In the light of day
When evening comes around
All my senses fly away

It?s nothing
But a goddamn shame
Is what it is
Oh it?s nothing
But a goddamn shame
