A                    D        A D
Not too smart, just out of school
A           D              A  D
A teachers pet and modern fool
F#m            D                 E   F#m
Talked about being a freelance broker
D                      A              E
But the police caught him trying to choke her

Can't describe him in his corner, no, no
Like a rat out of the water,
out of work and out of grass
Mother Mary never seems to stop to talk,

          F#m
she just walked on past
A       D
Down down
A        D
No information
A    D            A  D
One day always, away

Chorus:
F#m    D     E        F#m
And why, why, can't I see you
D       A        E
One day always away
F#m    D    E            F#m
And why, why, can't I be you
D       A        E
One day always away

He's out of school now, just another taken barstool
And this neighborhood ain't what he had
in mind, no, no
Wants to be your girlfriend and wants
to be your boyfriend
Wants to be your telephone, wants to,
wants to be your own man

Chorus:
And why, why, can't I see you, one day always away
Why why, can't I be you
One day always away - x4
Always away - x2
Down down, no information
