G                  C                   G                              C 
Every time I go downtown I think I might find you around.  
G                           C                 Am            D 
I take your picture just in case, anybody's seen-  
G                             C                   G                                 C 
A girl who's had her better days, just like the last place that you stayed, 
 G                              C                      Am                              D   
Where I can see you tipping back the curtains, looking for me.  
 
                                       C                      G 
You say. ?Baby do you have to go away  
                          C                     G      
Just before the deal gets real sweet,  
                         C                               G 
Just before my trouble finally pays off,  
                               D  
Can you cover for me? 
                               Am  Em7  C 
Can you cover for me??  
 
G                          C 
I see you coming down the hill.  
G                                       C 
You smile at me like I'm a worn out thrill,  
G                                      C  Am           D 
As if I have some endless well of dignity.  
G                                    C    
You cut yourself like a high school kid-  
G                           C 
I did it once, everybody did,  
G                           C  Am              D 
Just to feel the emptying of everything.  
 
                               C                    G   
Aww Baby just to watch it all go away,  
                          C                    G 
Every time the deal gets real sweet,  
                          C                            G 
Every time our trouble finally paid off.  
                             D                                     Am  Em7  C 
We said, ?Cover for me, we said cover for me.?  
 
G                      C               G                                 C 
It's 2 years of depravity for every year of your recovery,  
G                      C                Am                         D 
And you'll lose eventually, if that's what you need.  
G                                 C 
Of all the friends that make me sad,  
G                        C   
You're the one I just can't have-  
G                        C 
All the numbers that you left me,  
Am                         D 
They just ring and ring.  
 
                                   C                G 
I said, ?Baby do you have to go away,  
                           C                   G 
Just before the deal gets real sweet,  
                           C                           G 
Just before my trouble finally pays off,  
                              D                                  Am   
Can't you cover for me, like I covered for you,  
                   Em7     C                                 G            C        G        D 
Like I covered for you, like I covered for you?? 
             G                      C                     G              D     (repeat twice and end on G)  
Na Na Na ?? Na Na Na??Na Na Na Na Na Na
