[Cmaj7] goin' as she's
[F] leavin'.
She's
[Dm] headed for the

[C] town
[G7] [C open]

[F/C] your lyin'

[G7]
I thought by

An-

[Cmaj7] gonna be a

[C] cry
[Dm7] [G7]
VERSE 7:
She
[C] wonders how it
[Cmaj7] ever got this
[F] crazy.

[F] lazy?
She's
[Dm] so far gone, she
[F] feels just like a
[C] fool
