[A] Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to [D]you
[A]Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be [D]to
[A]Fresh out the slammer
[A]Another summer taking cover
[Gbm]Rolling thunder, he don't [D]understand me [A]
[A]Splintered back in winter, silent
[Gbm]dinner, bitter he was with her [D]in dreams [A]
[A]Grey and blue and fights in tunnnels
[Gbm]Handcuffed to the spell I was under
[D] For just one hour of [A]sunshine
[A]Years of labor, locks, and ceilings
[Gbm]In the shade of how he was feeling
[D] It's gonna be alright, I [A]did my time
[A]Now, pretty baby, I'm running back home to [D]you
[A]Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be [D]to
[A]Fresh out the slammer
[A]Camera flashes, welcome bashes
[Gbm]Get the matches, toss the ashes [D]off the ledge [A]
As I said [A]in my letters now that I know [Gbm]better
I will never lose my [D]baby again [A]
[A]My friends tried but I wouldn't hear it
[Gbm]Watched me daily disappearing
[D] For just one glimpse of [A]his smile
[A]All those nights he kept me going
[Gbm]Squirreled you into all of my poems
[D] Now we're at the starting line, I [A]did my time
[A]Now, pretty baby, I'm [Gbm]running to the [D]house we still wait up in
That porch [A]light gleams
To the [A]one who says I'm the girl of his [Gbm]American dreams
And no [D]matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
Ain't no [A]way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at [A]stake
[A]Here at the [Gbm]park where we used to sit on [D]children's swings
[A]Wearing imaginary rings [A] [Gbm]
But it's gonna be alright, I [D]did my time [A]
[Bm] Do you really wanna [A]know where I was [E]April 29th?
[Bm] Do I really have to [A]chart the [E]constellations in his eyes?
[Bm] You know there's many different
[A]ways that you can [E]kill the one you love
[Bm] The slowest [A]way is never [E]loving them enough
[A] High infidelity
[F#m]Put on your records and regret me
I [D]bent the truth too far tonight
I was [A]dancing around, [E]dancing around it
[A] High infidelity
[F#m]Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your [D]picket fence is sharp as knives
I was [A]dancing around, [E]dancing around it
[Gbm]
But it's gonna be alright, I [D]did my time [A]
