ARTIST: REM
TITLE: (Don't Go Back to) Rockville
Lyrics and Chords
Looking at your watch at the time
Waiting in the station for the bus
Going to a place that's far
So far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello
They don't talk to anybody they don't know
/ D - / - - G Gsus4 / : / A GF#m Bm / BmAm G Gsus4 /
You'll wind up in some factory
That's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around a-all by yourself
I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long
{Refrain}
Don't go back to Rockville (3x)
And waste another year
/ D Em A - / / / G - D - /
At night I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
{Refrain}
It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town
Only wants to bring you down
And that's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange
But I believe you'll be coming back before too long
/ D - CA GA / D - EmA GA / Em Bm / / G - A - /
/ A GF#m Bm / BmAm G Gsus4 /
{Refrain twice}
