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

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

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

Chorus:
                A E
When you walk away
                  A  E
It better be for good

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:
When you walk away
It better be for good

F#m7           A                E  
I know you'll be there in the rain
A                F#m7        A                 Bsus4 B
Glowing like the first night, telling me you've changed
F#m7           A                E  
I know you'll be there in the rain
A                F#m7        A             G#  G#7
Glowing like the first night, trying to explain

Chorus:
                     A  E
That when you walk away
                   A  E
It's gonna be for good
                    A  E
You were my Tom Verlaine
                     A  E
Just sitting on the hood
