E5               B5
She got out of town
F#5                  A5       A5 A5
On a railway New York bound.
E5                B5
Took all except my name,
C#5      B5   B5      A5
Another alien on Broadway.

             E5            
Well, There's some things in this world
                B5      B5
You just can't change,
F#5
Some things you can't see
             A5      A5 A5
Until it gets too late.


E5
Baby, baby, baby,
            D5
When all your love is gone,

Who will save me 
      A5                              E5
From all I'm up against out in this world?

And maybe, maybe, maybe,
           D5
You'll find something

That's enough to keep you,
           A5
But if the bright lights don't receive you,
          B5
You should turn yourself around
           E5
And come on home.


E5             B5      B5 B5
I got a hole in me now,
F#5                      A5
Yeah, I got a scar I can talk about.
E5                  B5      B5 B5
She keeps a picture of me
C#5       B5       B5        A5
In her apartment in the city.
E5
Some things in this world,
                  B5      B5 B5
Man, they don't make sense,
F#m11
Some things you don't need
            A5
Until they leave you,

then they're things that you miss, you say.


E5
Baby, baby, baby,
            D5
When all your love is gone,

Who will save me 
      A5                              E5
From all I'm up against out in this world?

And maybe, maybe, maybe,
           D5
You'll find something

That's enough to keep you,
           A5
But if the bright lights don't receive you,
          B5
You should turn yourself around
           E5
And come on home.


C#5        B5             A5         B5
Let that city take you in. (Come on home.)
C#5        B5             A5           B5
Let that city spit you out. (Come on home.)
C#5        B5            D5  A5            D5 A5 B5
Let that city take you down yeah.
                  E5
For God's sake turn around
