Capo 5
GEmGEm Bus station, at sun-up, lookin’ for a new, place to go GEm He sips his Coke, and he pulls his ring, CD and thinks of how she looked years ago GEmGEm And she curls up, with a blanket, in a yellow, plastic seat GEm He touches her, and she looks out the window, CD at an empty morning street
Chorus: EmCG Well, he musta had a screw loose, in his head EmCG To end up like this after all he said CGCDG He lies to her, she kisses him, gettin’ tired of love
Bus station, at sun-up, she reads the ticket, in her hand It’s a different name, for the same old town, and this ain’t the life that they had planned And so he tries to tell her, it won’t be like the, times before It’s a different town, and a brand new start, and he’s gonna work a whole lot more.
Chorus
Bus station, at sun-up, another hour, left to blow He touches her, but she’d like to leave, and there’s no place left to go
Chorus EmCG Well, she musta had a screw loose, in her head EmCG How could she believe all the things he said CGCDG She lies to him, he kisses her, gettin’ tired of love EmCGEmC Gettin’ tired of love, gettin’ tired of love
