G Em G C D

intro:

G C G D

Its a tale of old shoes

C G

And soles of your feet

Em C

I've got blisters from running

On beaches and streets

I've been knocked down and out

C G

I've got eyes black and blue

Em C

I'm hit in the face

when I'm talking to you

C G

Oh, don't lie down

As soon as I sleep,

C G

you'll be leaving this town

C G

Oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

Em D

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town

It's a tale of tied hands

C G

And holiday scenes

I've got romance in places

that I've never been

But I've said a hundred times

C G

That I'm all that you need

But you swear you're just stubborn

and I'm just naïve

C G

Oh, don't lie down

As soon as I sleep,

C G

you'll be leaving this town

C G

Oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

Em D

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town

G D

Its a tale of old shoes

And soles of your feet

I've got blisters from running

On beaches and streets

In the absence of sound

Will you sing back to me?

Or just whisper the thoughts,

and tell me to dream?

C G

Just don't lie down

As soon as I sleep,

C G

you'll be leaving this town

C G

Oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

G G

And if I fall asleep

C G

You'll be leaving this town

Oh, I'm lost

I'm young

I got my mind in the clouds

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town

Oh, if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town
