[Verse]

D C G C D C G

I'm broken down and barrel chested again

D C G C D C G

Some people try for all their lives but they never make a dent

You hang around broke, bored and restless again

Strung out stripped of all your pride with all your money spent

But it's not the same when you're not here

Let me make that picture clear

It's not the same when you're not around

I'm left alone here in this town

But it's just as lame for you

G D

When you leave me feeling so damn cold

G D

I'm wishing we could both get old before

G D A

Either one of us pass this way again

[Break]

And I've been trying all night long to make that picture clear

D C G C D C G

Still, who's to blame if you don't miss me when I'm not here

D C G C D C G

Cartoons, clowns and run down towns

D C G C D C G

Tend to lose their charms over the years

[Chorus]

But it's not the same when you're not here

Let me make that picture clear

It's not the same that way at all

But it's just as lame for you
