Dm
While you were out
             Am
The message says
Dm
You left a number
                Am
And I tried to call
          Dm
But they wrote it down
               Am      Dm
In a perfect Spanish scrawl
               Am      Dm
In a perfect Spanish scrawl

Yet again
I'm missing you
King size bed
(in a) hotel someplace
I hear your name
I see your face
I see your face

Chorus:
 F
Back street dolls
and the side door johnnies
                          C
The wide-eyed boys with their
backs full of money
 G#
Back in the alley
going bang to the wall
                 D#
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl
 F
Heaven wouldn't be so high I know
                            C
if the time gone by hadn't been so low
G#
The best-laid plans come apart at the seams
                       D#
and shattered all my dreams

Sometimes I feel like
Screaming
Close my eyes
It's times like this
My head goes down
And the only thing I know
Is the name of this town
Is the name of this town

Yet again
I'm missing you
Won't be long
O' coming home
Until that distant time
I'll be moving on
I'll be moving on

Chorus - x2
