Twenty-one years from the day I was born
I was working on the night shift tooting my horn
Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm
You come to me (G) (E) (G)

(A) You were the girl with the summer sunshine
(Em) In your eyes and in your smile
(A) You were the one I thought loved me
It was (E) something I (D) never could quite be(A)lieve
(E) Gotta get away from here (G) (E) (A)

I'm a real bad loser that's what I am
Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram
You can stick my money in an old tin can
I think I fell in love again

I was down by the bus stop biding my time
I was hitching a ride with a friend of mine
I was almost gone, I was over the line
I said what's come over me

You were the girl with the sound of springtime
In your songs and in your voice
You were the one I thought loved me
It was something I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get back to you (E) (G) (A) (E) (G) (E) (A) (E) (G) (E) (Cmaj7)

I'm gonna make it today, I'm gonna get on my toes
Been awake so long I'm getting ready to doze
Gonna grab my bag and a few old clothes
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get back to you
I (E) gotta get away, gotta get away
(G) Gotta get a(E)way, gotta get away
Gotta get a(A)way (E) (G) (E) (A) (E) (G) (E) (A/B)
