Never Comin Back

[Intro ]
C  G  Am  F 

 
C                          G 
We said, "Till death do us part," babe 
Am          F 
Does that include 
C                       G           Am 
The lust we mistook for love, babe? 
              F 
That died too soon 
              C                      G 
Now there's a blank slate reflecting heartbreak 
     Am                              F 
Like dust under a rug, you're up and gone and swept away 
 

 
C                           G 
Standin' in the rubble of a house we called a home 
Am                          F 
Dealin' with the feelin' of being all alone 
C                              G 
Chewin' on the gravel that you kicked up when you left 
            Am                            F 
And now I'm staring at your lipstick on a front yard cigarette 
  C                       G             Am            F 
I guess this is where the plans we made turn into the past 
   C                                  G 
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving 
         Am 
It's the waitin' on you 
F                                C    G  Am  F 
Knowing that you're never comin' back 
 

 
C                            G 
I should probably change the locks, babe 
G 
(That'd be smart) 
Am                      F 
Toss that key under the rock, babe 
F 
(You broke my heart) 
C                         G 
Rip that clock off of the wall, babe 
              Am               F 
'Cause you're long, long gone, long, long gone 
Fm 
Long, long gone 
 

 
C                           G 
Standin' in the rubble of a house we called a home 
Am                          F 
Dealin' with the feelin' of being all alone 
C                              G 
Chewin' on the gravel that you kicked up when you left 
            Am                            F 
And now I'm staring at your lipstick on a front yard cigarette 
  C                       G             Am            F 
I guess this is where the plans we made turn into the past 
   C                                  G 
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving 
         Am 
It's the waitin' on you 
F                                C 
Knowing that you're never comin' back

Oh, you're never comin' back 
   C                                  G 
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving

It's the waitin' on you 
F                                N.C. 
Knowing that you're never comin' back
