Eb5                                Ebsus 
Don't get too loose, don't get too lax 
                                      Bbsus7 
Don't lose your boots, keep your bags packed 
                                               Ebsus 
Tell 'em one of your jokes, sing a few of your songs 
Ebsus 
You won't be staying long 
 

 
Eb5                               Ebsus 
Don't get too cute, don't get too quaint 
                                             Bbsus7 
Don't put down roots, you're gonna miss your train 
                                                Ebsus 
Douse some dirt on the fire, leave the paint to peel 
Ebsus 
Watch the road and keep your hands on the wheel

Eb5                         Ebsus 
Don't say too much, no last names 
                                             Bbsus7 
I know it sounds like fun, but it's just not safe 
                                             Ebsus 
Play it close to the chest, be your own best friend 
Ebsus 
You'll thank me in the end 
 

 
Eb5                                Ebsus 
Don't get too close, don't get too warm 
                                                Bbsus7 
I know it feels like home, but you're gonna get burned 
                                              Ebsus 
Keep to dark back streets, cut 'em off at the past 
Ebsus 
Travel by night and cover all of your tracks

Cm                   Gm 
I used to believe in love 
Cm                       Fm7 
Until love hung me up to dry 
                              Eb 
And now I've got to hang love up 
 

 
Eb                                    Fm 
So don't take the trip, don't buy the house 
                                     Gm 
Don't pick out rings, don't make the vows 
                                  Fm 
Don't have the kids, don't settle down 
N.C. 
You'll only end up alone anyhow
