Intro 

C   Em F 
 

C 
Hey Marie, are you up? I get lonely as hell. 
C                  Em  F 
I get drunk and I call... 
C 
when I'm on Tanqueray, I got so much to say. 
C                    Em  F 
Mostly talking to myself... 

 

Am              Em 
This town isn't big enough, 
Am                      G  Gsus4 G 
I thought I wished you well. 
 

C               F                        Dm 
You're with our old friends, out on the weekend, 
             G               C 
down by the water, drinking summer in. 
C                F                       Dm 
Then you're out walking, when I'm on the West End, 
           G                 C   Em F 
I'll never go downtown again. 

 

C 
In this old empty house, where I'm all by myself, 
C                        Em   F 
I forget that it's been years... 
C 
I get high on the past, yeah, I'm making it last, 
C                    Em  F 
but I always end up here... 
 

Am                      Em 
The hardest thing about breaking up... 
Am/E                    G   Gsus4 G 
is the stories that we tell... 
 

C               F                        Dm 
You're with our old friends, out on the weekend,

down by the water, drinking summer in. 
C                F                       Dm 
Then you're out walking, when I'm on the West End, 
           G                 C 
I'll never go downtown again... 
C                  F                       Dm 
You're off in the distance, and gone in an instant, 
              G                C 
there at the end and the beginning, 
C                 F                    Dm 
you're everywhere I am, oh there's no winning, 
           G                 Dm 
I'll never go downtown again...
