Intro | D | A | F#m | G |
D A The casino doesn't like when you run the tables F#m G And though the box is wrapped up nice, it's just a cage to you D A Those electric fences buzz, the stallions leave the stable F#m G And that small town's even smaller now in your rearview Bm A You ran with all the wild things F#m G A liberated libertine who then longed for home
D * 'Cause it's where you're from A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on F#m No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall D And you hate this song, A but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone
D A Give the people what they want, then you keep it movin' F#m G Make your plans and friends of strangers, makeup on your tie D A Twenty watches in the safe 'cause your time is money F#m G Love is ice upon the ladder that you need to climb Bm A F#m She captured your attention, so free of all pretension G D It stopped you cold because she loved you so
D * 'Cause it's where you're from A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on F#m No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall D And you hate this song, A but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G A F#m D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone
A G A F#m D You're using nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself A G A But darling, you end up hurting everybody else F#m D A G The self-harm of never being where you are A It's bedtime, but you're sitting in your car G You're missing all the best parts
D * 'Cause it's where you're from A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on F#m No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall D And you hate this song, A but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon now it's almost gone
A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on Bm No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall
D And you hate this song, A but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone
