C# A# F# G#
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
Looking back, I should have known
A E
All the nights that I spent out in space
Emaj7
If in fact I had said no
A E
What becomes of this? It's hard to say
[Bridge]
F#m7 A E
I'll feel better with the breeze on my back
F#m7 A E
And I'll sleep better knowing it's in the past
[Verse 2]
Emaj7
Looking back, I should have known
A E
All the nights that I spent in outer space
Emaj7
Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack
A E
Out in the back of my brain
[Chorus]
A E
When you walk awaaay
A E
It better be for good
[Verse 3]
E Emaj7
I put my money on a horse
A E
Who won't be steered on any course or lane
E B A
And if I ever see a dime
F#m7 B A E
You'd take that money to divide and separate
[Chorus]
A E
When you walk awaaay
A E
Better be for good
[Bridge]
F#m7 A E/G#
I know you'll be there in the rain
A F#m7 A Bsus4 B
Glowing like the first night, telling me you've cha - anged
F#m7 A E/G#
I know you'll be there in the rain
A F#m7 A G# G#7
Glowing like the first night, trying to explaaain
[Chorus]
A E
That when you walk awaaay
A E
It's gonna be for good
A E
You were my Tom Verlaine
A E
Just sitting on the hood

Looking back
I should have known all the nights that I spent out in space
If in fact I had said no, what becomes of this
It's hard to say and I'll feel better with the breeze on my back
And I'll sleep better, knowing it's in the past
Looking back
I should have known all the nights that I spent in outer space
Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack out in the back of my brain
When you walk away it better be for good
I put my money on a horse who won't be steered on any course or lane
And if I ever see a dime, you'd take that money to divide and separate
When you walk away, it better be for good
I know you'll be there in the rain glowing like the first night
Telling me you've changed
I know you'll be there in the rain glowing like the first night
Trying to explain that
When you walk away, it's gonna be for good
You were my Tom Verlaine, just sitting on the hood
Woo wah
