Intro: Em G (x4) 

verse 1 
Em           D 
Hey, did you hear me, mom? 
C      Em     G      Em  G 
Baby's headed home 
 D                                   Em   G      Em G 
Against your wishes, I went into the woods alone 

Instrumental 
Em G x2 

verse 2 
     Am 
Just look at my face 
                  C 
A vegetable, beet red 
                   Em             Am 
I know you gave me money for the motel 
            C 
But I came here instead 

I came here instead 

Instrumental 
Em G x4 

verse 3 
       D 
What I wanted when I left you 
             Em  G   Em G 
Brushed by, so close 
         D 
With the money, I got pretty gone 
                  Em    G  Em  G 
And bloodied some poor actor's nose 

Instrumental 
Em G x2 

Pre-Chorus 
    Am 
One night in the park, the pellet gun 
            C 
Took out an eye, I came undone 

 G                       C 
One college kid came to see me 
   Em 
He passed me that nylon string 
            D 
Asked me to play him something 
G                                    C 
So I tried my hand at "Blues Run the Game" 
                  Em 
I barely made it through it 
                              D 
Then he had to go back to his parent's house upstate 
Upstate
 

Instrumental 
Em G x4 

verse 4 
     D 
Woke from the dream and I was old 
               G          Em   G    Em G 
Staring at the ass crack of dawn 
             D 
Walked these streets up and down 
               Em G    Em G 
Looking for Paul Simon 

Instrumental 
Em G x2 

Pre-Chorus 
       Am 
All I found was myself, lost in time 
        C 
I tried singing my songs 

But I lost my mind 

 G                           C 
What have they done with my jealous one? 
             Em              D 
Who is gonna talk trash long after I'm gone? 
G          C 
When I was young 
             Em 
They used to find me pitching horseshoe crabs 
D 
Back into the sun 


Bridge 
G 
What have they done 
          C 
What have they done 
        Em 
With my jealous one? 
         D 
With my jealous one? 
G          C 
When I was young 
             Em 
They used to find me pitching horseshoe crabs 
D 
Back into the sun
