Intro: [Am] [F] [Am] [F]
In a  Ammotel room in Colorado Springs
 FWe learned what impatience brings
To  Amwomen who fool  Faround
 AmThat summer was a strung-out mess
And  Fyou swore to God you had the perfect fix
And a  Amplan to get us  Fout
You said,  Am2"Don't you  Gturn aFround"
 Am2"Leave your strings  Gat the door and  Fjust walk out"
[Am] [F] [Am] [F]
 AmI sat in the living room 
And  Fwatched your girlfriend pack her things
To  Ammove away from  Fyou
 AmOur record, Buffy Sainte-Marie 
And we  Fheld hands and cried 
'Til we could  Amsee anyFthing
You said,  Am2"Don't you  Gturn aFround"
 Am2"You wouldn't like  Gwhat you found out here  Fanyhow"
[Am] [F] [Am] [F]
So I  Amtook a redeye from the Bay
 FWatched you watch the taxi 
Pull aAmway from Mission  FStreet
 AmThe next time we would meet 
Would be a  Ftrain wreck of nerves and sexless sleep
MisAmtakes made into  Fhymns
I said,  Am2"Don't you  Gmake a  Fsound"
 Am2"Nothing's careful in  Gdesire,  Fespecially now"
[Am] [F] [Am] [F]
BRIDGE:
 DmThere were no accidents
 GWe asked for this, but the  FSouth is not out  GWest
DmThere's nothing gentle  Gabout our stomachs full of gin
 FWe are alive and we have no  Grest
[G] Oooo[Am]ooh
[F] [Am] [F]
In a  Amfarmhouse in the Piedmont hills
 FWe learned what impatience wills
To  Amwomen who have fooled  Faround
 AmIf thievery has a voice to sing
It's the  Fchoice and sound of moving hands 
Over  Amsocial wedding  Frings
You said,  Am2"Don't you  Gturn aFround"
Am2"Leave your strings  Gat the door and  Fjust walk  Amout"
