R.E.M. - [Don't Go Back To] Rockville: chords

E
Looking at your watch a third time
E                               A
waiting in the station for the bus
E
Going to a place that's far,
E                               A
so far away and if that's not enough
 B             A    G#m    C#m
Going where nobody says hello,
C#m                         Bm          A
they don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory
That's full-time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

Chorus:
 E                F#m    B
Don't go back to Rockville,
 E                F#m    B
don't go back to Rockville,
 E                F#m    B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

At night, I drink myself to sleep
And pretend I don't care
that you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Chorus

E                            A    B  A B
It's not as though I really need you
E                           A    B  A B
If you were here I'd only bleed you
F#m      C#m          F#m       C#m
But everybody else in town only wants
              A
to bring you down and
                            B
That's not how it ought to be
                              A
Well I know it might sound strange but
G#m  C#m
I believe
C#m                     Bm        A
You'll be coming back before too long
