[Intro]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
Amaj7
Fresh out the slammer
[Verse 1]
Amaj7
Another summer taking cover
F#m7 Dmaj7 A
Rolling thunder, he don't understand me
Amaj7 F#m7 Dmaj7
Splintered back in winter, silent dinner
Bitter he was with her in dreams
A
Amaj7
Grey and blue and fights in tunnels
F#m7
Handcuffed to the spell I was under
Dmaj7 A
For just one hour of sunshine
Amaj7
Years of labor, locks, and ceilings
F#m7
In the shade of how he was feeling
Dmaj7 A
It's gonna be alright, I did my time
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Now pretty baby, I'm running back home to you
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
Amaj7
Fresh out the slammer
[Verse 2]
Amaj7
Camera flashes, welcome bashes
F#m7 Dmaj7 A
Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge
Amaj7 F#m7
As I said in my letters, now that I know better
Dmaj7 A
I will never lose my baby again
Amaj7
My friends tried but I wouldn't hear it
F#m7
Watched me daily disappearing
Dmaj7 A
For just one glimpse of his smile
Amaj7
All those nights he kept me going
F#m7
Swirled you into all of my poems
Dmaj7 A
Now we're at the starting line, I did my time
[Chorus]
Amaj7 F#m7 Dmaj7
Now pretty baby, I'm running to the house we still wait up in
A
That porch light gleams
Amaj7 F#m7
To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams
Dmaj7
And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
A Amaj7
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at stake
Amaj7 F#m7 Dmaj7
Here at the park where we used to sit on children's swings
A Amaj7 F#m7
Wearing imaginary rings
Dmaj7 A
