F#
Unforgettable face,
I can't think of her name
It's on the edge of my tongue,
gathering dust in the
Back of my brain
Something about the way she
ignores me that's vaguely
Familiar
Makes you wonder what it was you
ever did to thrill
Her

Chorus:
G       C/E   F
Here we go again
Here we go again
G      C/E  G#
Here I go again

I never felt the need to soothe
her savage breast
She never felt obliged to tell me
of her change of
Address
Caught me on a downward swing but
I fell through her
Arms
How could I be so careless,
I never meant to go so far

Chorus

F
Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away

She took it all away,
now she's back for the rest
Took it all so easy,
wouldn't settle for less
She doesn't know what
she wants but she knows how
To get it
I can't remember the time,
she never let me forget it

Chorus

Oh Whatsername's back in town
She's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away

Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away
