Intro:  Riff 1 (1x)



Verse:



(Riff 1) (1x)

I'm gonna check my scars at home, Gonna cash my chips and roam.



(Riff 2) (1x)

Gonna walk before I fade to black



(Riff 1) (1x)

I'm gonna write a new resume, I'm gonna write you off the page.



(Riff 2) (1x)

I'm gonna take what we might take away.



Em                                 G



And you might find a brighter day, You might find a brighter day.





                  (CHORUS)



D*                   G                    A



And in another year, the pain will disappear and I



D*                              G             A



Will look back on this life as if it were a scene



Em                        G             D*



In a film somebody made for you and me, I wish you well





(RIFF 3)





Verse 2:



D*                       G                        A



She wants to be set free, Wants the space to feel love and be angry,



      D*                                        G                   A



and I watch her bounce off the walls, While the chips they start to fall.



 D*                          G       A



And then in a little while I see, That distant smile returning



 D*                                G                A



Just like a ghost in a dream, that we had way back when



Em                                    G



Then she'll turn and smile and say, "Come again."





(CHORUS)



(BRIDGE)

A                         G              D



I cannot believe there's nothing left to save



A                             Em



Hard as a hammer she wants me to come again and again



G                      Em                    G



I'm down on my knees.  Won't you come again. Don't you need relief?
