intro: G
Em G C D G C G D G
Its a tale of old shoes
C G
And soles of your feet
Em C
I've got blisters from running
D
On beaches and streets
G
I've been knocked down and out
C G
I've got eyes black and blue
Em C
I'm hit in the face
D
when I'm talking to you
C G
Oh, don't lie down
D
As soon as I sleep,
[Refrão]
C G
you'll be leaving this town
C G
Oh, don't lie down
Em
'Cause I'm lost
D
And I'm young
C
Got my mind in the clouds
Em D
And if I fall asleep
[Próxima Parte]
D
You'll be leaving this town
G
It's a tale of tied hands
C G
And holiday scenes
C
I've got romance in places
D
that I've never been
G
But I've said a hundred times
C G
That I'm all that you need
C
But you swear you're just stubborn
D
and I'm just naïve
C G
Oh, don't lie down
D
As soon as I sleep,
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
D
You'll be leaving this town
G D G
Its a tale of old shoes
G
And soles of your feet
G
I've got blisters from running
G
On beaches and streets
G
In the absence of sound
G
Will you sing back to me?
G
Or just whisper the thoughts,
G
and tell me to dream?
C G
Just don't lie down
D
As soon as I sleep,
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C G
You'll be leaving this town
G
Oh, I'm lost
D
I'm young
G
I got my mind in the clouds
D
And if I fall asleep
G
You'll be leaving this town
D
Oh, if I fall asleep
G
You'll be leaving this town
