Don't go back to Rockville

   E                                                   A/Asus4
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
   E                                                   A/Asus4
Going to a place that's far, so far away and  if that's not  enough 
  B         A           G#mi  C#mi          Bmi        A/Asus4
Going where  nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know  
      E                                                A/Asus4
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and  nowhere left to go 
   E                                                   A/Asus4
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all  by yourself 
      B                        A          G#mi   C#mi
I know it might sound  strange, but I believe 
                  Bmi       A/Asus4   A  A/G#bass   A/F#bass
You'll  be coming back before too long  
 E                 F#mi    B
Don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year  riff: G)   ------2------------2


At night  I drink myself to sleep and pretend 
I don't care if you're not  here with me 
'Cause it's so much easier to handle 
All  my problems if I'm  too far out to sea 
But something better  happen soon 
Or it's gonna be too  late to bring you back  
  E                                   D  B  A  B
It's  not as though I really need you 
 E                                    F#mi  B  A  B
If you were here I'd only bleed you 
 F#mi       C#mi          F#mi          C#mi               A
But everybody else  in  town only wants to bring you down and 
                            B
That's not how it ought to be  
I know it might  sound strange, but I believe 
You'll be coming back before  too  long
