Standard (EADGBE)

Catch a ride on a northbound bus

 'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

Could have cried for the way it was

 But there's no one left to dry my tears

 When I think of how it used to be

 When we all played together just for fun

 Didn't matter who was right or wrong

 Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

 I think I've been around too long

You and I were the best of friends

 Well I think it was a thousand years

Now good bye this is where it ends

 'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

 When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble

 It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song

 Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

 I think I've been around too long

Solo

 When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble

 It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song

 Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

 I think I've been around too long

Catch a ride on a northbound bus

 'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here

Could have cried for the way it was

 But there's no one left to dry my tears

 When I think of how it used to be

 When we all played together just for fun

 Nobody had to come on strong

 Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming

 I think I've been around too long, around too long
