Please welcome to the middle microphone Mike Mills.
Hello.
Where are we happy to be in Athens, Greece?
[E]
[N] [E]
Looking at your watch a third time
waiting in the station for [A] the bus
[E] Go into a place that's far so far away
And if that's not [A] enough
[E] [B] Going where [G#m] nobody says [C#m] hello.
They don't talk to [Bm] anybody they [A] don't know
[E] You'll wind up in some factories full-time
But nowhere left [A] to go
[E] Walk home to an empty house
Sit around at night all by [A] yourself
[B] It might sound [A] strange, [G#m] but I [C#m] believe you're coming back [Bm] before [A] too long
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[A] And waste another year
At [E] night I train myself to sleep and pretend I don't care that you're [A] not here with me
[E] It's so much easier to handle all my problems if I'm too [A] far out to see
[B] Something better [G#m] happens sooner, [C#m] it's gonna be too late [Bm] to bring [A] me back
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go back [F#] to Rothfeld
[B]
[A] And waste another year
[B] [E] It's not as though I really [A] need [B] [A] you
[B] [E] If you are here, I don't [A] ever [B] need you
[A]
[B] [F#m] And [C#m] everybody else [F#m] in town
[C#m] Only wants to [A] bring you down
That's not how it ought [B] to be
I know it might [A] sound [G#] strange, but [C#m] I believe you're coming [Bm] back before [A] too long
Come on!
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[A] And waste another year
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[E] Don't go [F#] back to Rothfeld
[B]
[A] And waste another year
[E]
Thank you very much
