C E
Please don't forget me, I'm going away
Dm G
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky where they don't need to know
C E
All about me, I just need to feel safe
Dm G
Got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide
F
Skeletons in my bed
Don't ask where I'm going
C
I'm going away
E
I'm going my way
Am
Finally it's my time
F G
to be lonely, and lost, unloveed and I can't wait
C
Don't forget what I said
E
don't forget my letter
Am
every night I pray for you
I don't got no religion
F
Isn't it that something
G
I'll miss those days, I

(This verse is a little different from the first)
C E
I saved that bottle, it's now 10 years aged
Dm
I've got some bibles I could sell for money
F G
And a pair of fresh shaved legs
C E
Won't you baby come with me, I've got extra space
Dm or Am
In my car, in my heart, in my mind
F G
Look there's the passenger seat by the postcards you gave (Don't know where i'm going)
Same as first chorus)
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait
Don't forget what I said
don't forget my letter
every night I pray you
I don't got no religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days
F G
But he said "slow down, slow down
Am
Think it over, we've all got wretched closets
C
Silly girl, pride kills more than aids
F G
Lately" i said "come on
Am
I've thought it over
I Don't wanna die here
C
I have no desire to get married
F G Am C x2
F G Am C
I can't race the others anymore,
no I must learn to race myself.
(same chorus)
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait
Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)
Please forget my letter
every night I pray for you
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days
I, I'm not going halfway (i'll find my way)
I, I
every night I pray for you
dont believe in heaven
or that it could be a happy place
I, I'm going away
