-VERSE 1-
E D
I lost ten points just for bein' in the right place
B7 E Esus4 E
At exactly the wrong time,
E D
I looked right at the facts there but I may
B7 E Esus4 E
As well have been completely blind

So if you see me walkin' all alone,
C#m F#7
Don't look back; I'm just on my way back home

I looked around then for a reason when there wasn't

Something more to blame it on

But if time makes a diff'rence while we're gone,

That it was gettin' time to leave
C#m F#7
And I watched as the smokeer passed it on,
C#m F#7
And I laughed when the joker said, "Lead on"
