I saw a lack of this song anywhere, so I decided it was about time someone posted a
decent rendition of this little croon.  Here's my interpretation, enjoy!

VERSE 1:
Em              C
angel broke her wing
G           C
oh you poor thing
    Am         Em         G          D
the hum of the motor gave way to the tick tick
Em             C             G         C
ticking of the clock and the rattle of springs
    Am             D 
the buick's in the drive
    Am         D7
its good to be alive

CHORUS:
       G        D         Am       D
and if you knew now, what you knew then
    C              G        C              D
you wouldn't wanna go home, wouldn't wanna go
   G        D         Am       D
if you knew now, what you knew then
    C              G     C     D        G 
you wouldn't wanna go to amity gardens again

VERSE 2:

it isn't very much
but for now its home
a room in the shadow of a funny lookin' man
on the phone to the bank about a default loan
I thank you very much
ta ta we'll keep in touch

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
D
  where you, came from

and act like you tried
Am                     Em
'cause some things are better kept 
G
deep down inside
    Am         Em             G
but you're not driving you're along for the ride
     Am               D
just checking out the scene
    Am            D7
and taking in the green

CHORUS:
