INTRO: Em Bm Em F#7 Em Bm Em F#7 Bm
Bm
I was following a girl, a Canadian girl
A F#m Bm
On a great American trip
Bm
She was thumpin' the bass in an improv group
A F#m G
On their way to bein' hip
Bm
After a few nights on the bus
A F#m Bm
While we stopped to get some fuel
Bm
Her head got small and her rage got big
A F#m D D/C#
And she challenged me to a duel
Bm
In a truck stop there on the isle
A F#m Bm
Where they sell those dayglow hats
Bm
I took up with a girl who had
A F#m G
Eyes like an alley cat
Bm
She took me home, it was her husband's home
A F#m Bm
Before that awful factory fire
Bm
But the dead came around that night
A F#m D
And proved the alleycat a liar
CHORUS:
D
I gotta grow up, I gotta go to work
A
Quit countin' on luck even if it hurts
D
I gotta grow up, I gotta go to work
Bm A D
Even if it hurts, I gotta grow up
BREAK: Bm Em F#7 Bm Em F#7 Bm
Bm
I moved out to the coast, the western coast
A F#m Bm
And met an eastern girl
Bm
She was a big shot in the picture buiz
A F#m G
She wore black clothes and pearls
Bm
She loved what happened behind closed doors
A F#m Bm
Then she locked me out in the cold
Bm
She said guys like me are something called a genre
A F#m Bm
That's really getting old
CHORUS (2x)
