A
You can go out, dancing

And I'll write about you, dancing without you
G                                  A
And I'll shed a tear between my legs.


A
When you were here, I missed you

Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
G                                A
And I shed a tear between my legs.


A
Though we live in the same city,
                                         G                          A
You live in another state, far away from me and all of my unfaded charms
              E                             A
But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle,
    Bm                              E
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
                                       A
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
   Bm                         E
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening


A
Again I will pray with one thing

Will I walk away from love knowing nothing
G                              A
Wearing my heart between my legs


A
But when I know you're naked

Lying on my bed while I'm at the piano
G                              A
All I can say is I can't fake it
          E                               A
When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
     Bm                            E
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
                                        A
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
     Bm                      E
And quietly we'll exit as it all is happening again


       A                           Bm
'Cause there's a river running underground,
              E                 A  
Underneath the town towards the sea, 
                       Bm
That only I know all about
                   E             A
On which from this city, we can flee
