Capo on 4th fret
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)
