  All my life trouble follows me like a mystery girl
E                                 A              B
  And I’ve been chasing round the memory like a mystery girl
E                         A                      E              A  E
  I’ve been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
E                          A                   B
  I took a wrong turn in growing up and it’s freaking me out
 
 
A                          B
  Back at school it never made much sense
A                        B
  Now I pay but I can't pay attention
A                          B            C#m
  Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
A              B                Abm              C#m
  Too dumb to die I guess, but that’s the way it goes
A              B
  Sometimes I must regress these

E                        A                   E       A  E
  All my life I’ve been running wild like a runaway
E               A                      B
  Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway
