Em      Bm          C    Am
Took a train outta New Orleans
          Em      Bm     C    D#
And they shot me full of ephedrine
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene
Can we settle up the score?

Chorus:
     G      D/F#      Em           D#
If you were here I'd never have a fear.
          G         D
So go on live your life.
      Em                 C           Em
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.

Em
(You're beautiful!)

Well, I'm a total wreck, and almost every day
Like the firing squad or the mess you made
Well, don't I look pretty walking down the street
In the best damn dress I own?

Chorus:
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say

C      D      G/B                Em       D         C
Might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care (Whoa-oh)
Your dreams and your hopeless hair (Whoa-oh)
We never wanted it to be this way for all our lives
Do you care at all?

Chorus:
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday

You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say

What'd you call me?
Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy!
Well, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Yeah!
