When you go
Key of C
Note: repeated in several places through the song is a simple bass riff which is easy to play on
the 4th and 5th strings over the C and Am chords.
[Intro]
C Am
CUpon the floor some torn-up tee-shirts Amlay
CThat I have not the heart to throw awAmay
But I Fknow
You Calways take the madness when you Fgo
The queen is born for us a long weekend
A message left by a well-meaning friend
Well-meaning friends
They pick me up for quiet drives around the bend
And Cround GagCain
The Gbooks that you have left for me
Will Amkeep me in good company
The Fboxes that your things are in
Will Cstay where they have always been
The Glight still makes the shapes to crawl
On Amafternoons across the wall
And Fnothing here will change at all
UnCtil you find your Gway back to me aCgain
You always are the one that most abhors
Me and my tendency to the indoors
But I know
You always take the madness when you go
So bring it home
The books that you have left for me
Will keep me in good company
The boxes that your things are in
Will stay where they have always been
The light still makes the shapes to crawl
On afternoons across the wall
And nothing here will change at all
Until...
The clocks still turns the house around
It heats it up and cools it down
The grass will still be on the ground
Until you find your way back to me again

[Intro]

C Am

Upon the floor some torn-up tee-shirts lay

C Am

That I have not the heart to throw away

But I know

C F

You always take the madness when you go

The queen is born for us a long weekend

A message left by a well-meaning friend

Well-meaning friends

They pick me up for quiet drives around the bend

C G C

And round again

The books that you have left for me

Will keep me in good company

The boxes that your things are in

Will stay where they have always been

The light still makes the shapes to crawl

On afternoons across the wall

And nothing here will change at all

C G C

Until you find your way back to me again

You always are the one that most abhors

Me and my tendency to the indoors

But I know

You always take the madness when you go

So bring it home

The books that you have left for me

Will keep me in good company

The boxes that your things are in

Will stay where they have always been

The light still makes the shapes to crawl

On afternoons across the wall

And nothing here will change at all

Until...

The clocks still turns the house around

It heats it up and cools it down

The grass will still be on the ground

Until you find your way back to me again
