INTRO: C F (6x) C

I’ve got a long, long list of things
That no one needs to see
Desk drawers filled with picture frames
Postcards tucked in underneath

We were only young when we moved away
It went on and on for years
You fell in love and now you live in the city
Now I’m my own company out here

CHORUS:
So, don’t get down
Good things come when you stop waiting around
Good things come when you stop looking
So, don’t get down
You’ve just got to stop looking

There are some things that I believe
Like if you’ve got nothing, you’ve still got your family
And when you are no one, you’re still the king
And there’s not a dollar enough in the world to make you sing

CHORUS:
So, don’t get down
Good things come when you stop waiting around
Good things come when you stop looking
Don’t get down
You’ve just got to stop looking

There are some things I used to be
Won’t you find the will just to remind me
Because you are so safe inside my memory
And the scar underneath my knee

INTRO: F Am G (6x)

This is not my town and it will never be
This is our apartment filled with your things
This is your life, I get copied keys
Try and force a little smile, hold it a little while for you

INTERLUDE: F Am G (2x)

These are your old streets and you know them well
One way shortcuts all the way downtown
But your favourite find is just my second-hand secret
Try and hide a little pain for the things I can’t explain to you

INSTRUMENTAL: F Am G (4x)

These are your good friends and I like them fine
‘Cause they are your past and your present time
But would you even be the same if you left them behind
Oh, all the things I used to be, all the things I miss of me for you

‘Cause these are your good friends and I like them fine
These are your old streets and you know them well
This is not my town and it will never be
And it will never be, and it will never be
And it will never be, and it will never be
Ours_________
Ours_________

OUTRO: F Am G (6x)

Of all the things that you could choose to say
‘Baby come home with me for old time sake’
’Stand by my side and flash me that smile’
??Everybody is out tonight’

So I called you up from God knows where
Would you lie in bed if I were there
Speak soft, just talk I will listen
Don’t you dare leave till the morning
Like you always do
Like you always do

Follow me down through the streets of the states
Make up a reason not to come for old time sake
Nothing in this town could ever change
Except maybe new lines on your face

So I called you up from God knows where
Would you lie in bed if I were there
Speak soft, just talk I will listen
Don’t you dare leave till the morning
Like you always do
Like you always do

Like you always do
Like you always do

Am C G(2x)

Capo 2

Intro: EmCGD EmCGD

I can spot your kind a million miles away
Buckle down boots and a bloodshot gaze
You talk so sweet until the going gets tough
The last job you pulled was never big enough

Don’t say you’ll change after the next time
You wouldn’t even be yourself if you weren’t telling a lie

Cuz I know where the cops hang out
I know where you’ll be found
I know what you’re all about
I know when you’re going down

You only call me honey when we’re alone
Hiding at your place up on slack road
You’ve got an answer for every little thing
You can’t even tell me where you’ve been

My face couldn’t make you leave it behind
Maybe 20 years in state will change your mind

Cuz I know where the cops hang out
I know where you’ll be found
I know what you’re all about
I know when you’re going down

Don’t say you’ll change after the next time
You wouldn’t even be yourself if you weren’t telling a lie
Maybe 20 years in state will change your mind

Cuz I know where the cops hang out
I know where you’ll be found
I know what you’re all about
I know you’ll never change now

I know my love was good enough
I know you would have shed my blood
I know you can’t shut me up
I know when you’re going down

Kathleen Edwards – Away

I remember the way,
Driving home late,
Speeding all the way.
Alone in the rain.

I was rehearshing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink
We were laughing, I think,

I’ve been away.
I’ve been away.
Dm F (G – opt. 1 or 2 beats before An of next verse)
I’ve been away.

Do you pick up the phone,
Do you check your mail,
Do you answer your door
Even if it’s late?
I don’t know who to call,
I don’t know who to write,
And I think I forgot
What your face looks like.
I’ve been away.
I’ve been away.
I’ve been away.
Do you think that I’ve changed?
I swear I never tried.
Memory is a terrible thing.
When you use it right.
I was rehearshing a part
From down at the bar.
My mouth smelled like a drink.
We were laughing, I think,
I’ve been away.
I’ve been away.
I’ve been away.
