[Verse 1]
 
D                  A
  She got out of town
Em                            G
   On the railway, New York bound
D                     A
  Took all except my name
Bm         A              G
   Another alien out on Broadway
      D                                          A      Asus4
Well, some things in this world you just can't change
Em                                        G
Some things you can't see until it gets too late
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                              Cadd9
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
                 G                                   D
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
    D
And maybe, maybe, maybe
            Cadd9
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
           G
But if the bright lights don't receive you
           A                                D
You should turn yourself around and come on home
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                A
  I got a hole in me now
Em                     G
   I got a scar I can talk about
D                        A
  She keeps a picture of me
Bm         A                 G
   In her apartment in the city
    D                                              A
But some things in this world man, they don't make sense
Em                                      G
Some things you don't leave until they leave you, and then the things that you miss, you say...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                              Cadd9
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
                      G                              D
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
    D
And maybe, maybe, maybe
            Cadd9
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
           G
But if the bright lights don't receive you
           A                                 Bm
You should turn yourself around and come on home
 
 
[Bridge]
 
(Bm)     A             G
Let that city take you in (come on home)
Bm          A             G
   Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Bm          A             C   G     C   G
   Let that city take you down, yeah
A  N.C.
   For God sakes turn around

[Chorus]
 
D                              Cadd9
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
                      G                              D
Who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
           D
Yeah well, maybe, maybe, maybe
            Cadd9
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
           G                                     A
But if the bright lights don't receive you, well
                                  D
Turn yourself around and come on home
 
 
[Outro]
 
G                D

Baby, baby, baby, baby
         D
Come on home
G   G/F              D

Come on home

Change Bm to Em....and put the capo on the second fret and you're set.

+10

Capo 2 sounds great :)

you will need to capo this at the second fret to plat it in E which is the key on the Album.
