VERSE 1
 
     G              C                     Em
   I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say
        G                 C                Em
   Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey
Am
   I guess you didn't see it coming / Someone's gotten used to slumming
G                              Gmaj7
   Dreaming of the golden years / I see you had to change careers
   Am
   Far away / But we both know it's somewhere
 
     G              C                 Em
   I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday
       G                 C                 Em
   The driftwood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pay
Am
   I know you from another picture / Of someone with the most conviction
G                                  Gmaj7
   We used to read the funny papers / Fool around and pull some capers
   Am                               D
   Not today / Send a message to her / A message that I'm coming / I'm coming to pursue her
 
CHORUS
 
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed
             F                    C                    Asus4  A
I've got you ten times over / I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
 
VERSE 2
     G            C                 Em
   I saw you on a TV station and it made me want to pray
      G              C                 Em
   An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay
Am
   What happened to the funny paper / Smiling was your money maker
G                              Gmaj7
   Someone ought to situate her / Find a way to educate her
   Am                                     D
   All the way / Time to come and find you / You can't hide from me girl / So never mind what I do
 
CHORUS
 
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed
         F                      C                Asus4 A    D
I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head

VERSE 3
 
     G              C                      Em
   I saw you in the churchyard / There was no time to exchange
   G                C              Em
   You were getting married and it felt so very strange
Am
   I guess I didn't see it coming / Now I guess it's me who's bumming
G                              Gmaj7
   Dreaming of the golden years / You and I were mixing tears
   Am                                D
   Not today / Not for me but someone / I never could get used to / So now I will refuse to
 
CHORUS
 
F                  C                Asus4 A
Down home country I rest my face on your bed
         F                      C                Asus4 A
I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head
            F                         C                    Asus4  A
I've got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
