REM Don't go back to Rockville lyric video chords
Start Jamming...
Looking at your watch with a time waiting in the station for [A] the bus
[E] Going to places far, so far away and if that's [A] not enough
[B]
Going [A] where nobody [C#m] sees you, don't talk to anybody [A] they don't know
[E] You'll wind up in some factory that's full, turned up nowhere to [A] let you go
[E]
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by [A]
yourself
[B] Though it might [A] sound strange, but I [C#m] believe you'll be coming back before [A] too long
[E] Don't go back [F#m] you lock-bill
[B] [E]
Don't go [F#m] back you lock-bill
[B] [E]
[F#m] [B] [A]
Waste another year
[E] At night I drink myself to sleep and preach and I don't care that [A] you're not here with me
[E] Cause it's so much easier to man a woman from a little country [A] farm
[B]
Something [A] better happens [C#m] in each one to make you [A] breathe out
[E]
Don't go [F#m] back you lock-bill
[B] [E]
Don't go [F#m] back you lock-bill
[B] [E]
Don't go [F#m] back you lock [B]-bill
[A]
Waste another year
[E]
It's not as though [A] I really need you
[E]
If you were here I don't need you
[F#m]
[C#m] Everybody [F#m] else in town [C#m] wants to [A] be a better [B] place
Well I know it might [A] sound strange but I [C#m] believe you'll be coming [Bm] back before [A] too long
[E] Don't go back you [F#m] lock [B]-bill
[E] Don't go back you lock-bill
