Capo 2nd fret
CI got my plans from trembling hands
I kFnew just what to dCo
CFollow each step carefAmully  
AnFd hope they pulled me throuGgh
CMy father ran to different lands
FAnd not a word we spoCke
CI was here to conAmquer fear
And brFing some glory hoGme
There's a worFld of hate and sorrow
out there stanEmding in your way
There's a loFad of compromiGse
before you diCe
And eaFch time you step forward
You get buEmrned a little bit
No lonCger know the wGay to say goodAmbye
Now I'm doFwn here undernDm7eath  your bedroom liGght
RFena please come oGut with me tonighCt.
I Clook in through the window
And I thouFgh I'd take my chanCce
CI taught myself to plAmay
so I could Fbe where people danceGd
No Chigher call than stars that fall
I Fwaited patientlCy
A Cthousand miles of pAmavement
That becFame my destinGy
You can wFait a lonely lifetime
Wondering wEmhen it's gonna come
You can whFile away the hoGurs getting stoneCd
But oFne day you get lucky
And you loEmok in someone's eyes
That teCll you you don't haGve to be alAmone
Now I'm fFalling back juDm7st out of your sigGht
FRena please come Gout with me tonighCt
Oh nFow I know the wCay things go
And wFhat I put you thCrough

I know Fit's not the kind of hurt that's easEmily set right
And I kFnow you got your reGasons to stay insiCde
But noFthing ever happens when it's lEmeft out on it's own
You locCked in there with juGst your wounded priAmde
I'm dDm7own here and I'm way too tired to figGht
FRena please come oGut with me tonigAmht

Dm7

Capo 2nd fret

I got my plans from trembling hands

F C

I knew just what to do

C Am

Follow each step carefully

F G

And hope they pulled me through

My father ran to different lands

F C

And not a word we spoke

C Am

I was here to conquer fear

F G

And bring some glory home

There's a world of hate and sorrow

out there standing in your way

F G

There's a load of compromise

before you die

And each time you step forward

You get burned a little bit

C G Am

No longer know the way to say goodbye

F Dm7 G

Now I'm down here underneath your bedroom light

F G C

Rena please come out with me tonight.

I look in through the window

F C

And I though I'd take my chance

C Am

I taught myself to play

F G

so I could be where people danced

No higher call than stars that fall

F C

I waited patiently

C Am

A thousand miles of pavement

F G

That became my destiny

You can wait a lonely lifetime

Wondering when it's gonna come

F G C

You can while away the hours getting stoned

But one day you get lucky

And you look in someone's eyes

C G Am

That tell you you don't have to be alone

F Dm7 G

Now I'm falling back just out of your sight

F G C

Rena please come out with me tonight

F C

Oh now I know the way things go

F C

And what I put you through

Am Em

Cause when they try to get to me ( repeat twice)

F G C C F C C Em Am F G

[:/ / / / / ,, / / /:]

They get to me through you

F Em

I know it's not the kind of hurt that's easily set right

F G C

And I know you got your reasons to stay inside

F Em

But nothing ever happens when it's left out on it's own

C G Am

You locked in there with just your wounded pride

Dm7 G

I'm down here and I'm way too tired to fight

F G Am

Rena please come out with me tonight

F G C

.....

Rena please come out with me tonight
