[Verse 1]
G D
I was just leaving.
G
I was just up and walking,
D
When someone said something.
G
It was likely my name.
D
But I didn’t turn then.
G
I just kept on walking.
D
Got to my car and,
G
I am presently driving.
[Chorus]
Bm D
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
Bm
With something I owe you.
D
I think you already know that.
Bm
I know I’ll regret it.
D
Not living with you.
Bm D
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
D D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.
[Verse 2]
D
There’s this cop in London
G
He’s got it in for me.
D
I known him since high school.
G
He still thinks we’re nineteen.
D
I can’t live nowhere,
G
Where you could run into me.
D
‘Cause I think it’s likely
G
That you’ll make some big scene.
[Chorus]
Bm D
But darlin’ I can’t go back to Petrolia
Bm
With something I owe you.
D
I think you already know that.
Bm
I know I’ll regret it.
D
Not living with you.
Bm D
And you’ll have to sell that house and move to the city.
D D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.
[Bridge]
F# Bm
Out of all the places I could run,
F# Bm A
Lonely’s destination number one.
F# Bm
And I’ll deny it all a little more.
F# Bm A
Yeah I done it, but I don’t know what I did it for.
[Verse 3]
D
Stopped at this truck stop
G
Right outside Woodstock,
D
I was gonna get something,
G
But the whole thing was closed.
D
And then I thought I might turn back.
G
And then I though I might call you.
D
But I didn’t do that.
G
I just kept going.
[Chorus]
Bm D
And darlin I can’t go back to Petrolia
Bm
With something I owe you.
D
I think you already know that.
Bm
You know that I love you
D
I just cannot live with you.
Bm D
And you’ll have to sell that house and get lost in the city.
D D/C# G7/B
She says no, no, no.
D D/C# G7/B
No, no, no.
F# Bm
No, no
