Dm7 CM7
They pay me not to come home
A#M7
Keeping me stoned
FM7
I won't run away
Dm7 CM7
They say it's easy to get
A#M7
Stuck in this town
D#M7
Just like John
Dm7 CM7 A#M7
You know I give it all up for the stage
Dm7 CM7 A#M7
They fill my cup in the cage
Dm7 FM7 A#M7
It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
FM7 Dm7 A#M7 FM7
To hold yourself up not a crime here you know
A# Dm
At the end of the world

Dm7 CM7 A#M7
And I kick my foot at the lights
D#M7 CM7 CM7
I breathe it in all night
Dm7 CM7 A#M7
There's a light on a canvas tree
D#M7 CM7 CM7
Money from home supporting me
Dm7 CM7
They pay me not to come home
A#M7
I won't eat crow
FM7
I'll stay away
Dm7 CM7 A#M7 FM7
And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
Dm7 CM7 A# Dm
All roads lead to the end of the world
Dm7 CM7 FM7 A#M7
I sewed a little luck up into the hem of my gown
Dm7 CM7 FM7 A#M7
The only way down from the gallows is to swing
Dm7 CM7 FM7 A#M7
And I wear boots instead of high heels
Dm7 Cm CM7 A#M7 FM7 Dm7
And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
