[Intro]

Dm Bb Dm F
F C
 
 
[Verse]

            F       C        
There was a train leavin' for 
  G                 F
a big beat in a big life
              F
Are you comin'?
                    
I may have asked you 
        C
once or twice
 
 
[Chorus]

Dm                                
  But I'd already left the hallway
Bb
  with broken lights
Dm                     
  Some dingy landin' 
                  F
we used to tumble from
Dm                       
  Where the stairs were 
            F
cracked and worn, whatever
                            C
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone
 
 
[Verse]

F                   C      
 And the songs were pushin' 
G              F
harder all the time
F                   
Wasn't your fault, 
                     C
then again it wasn't mine 
Dm                 Bb
  Broke, frustrated, and obsessed
Dm                           F
  You saw me as ridiculous, I guess
             F         C
And I didn't know from nothing
G               F
Not even my own voice
                     F
But I knew there was something
                        C
And I knew there was no choice
 
 
[Chorus]

Dm
  I was leavin', 

mostly heartache
         Bb
But I was in no mood to rejoice
Dm              
  There was so much 
         F
that was wrong, whatever
                   
Watch me go, babe, 
         C
watch me gone
                   
(Watch me go, babe, 
         F
watch me gone)
                  
Watch me go, babe, 
       C
watch me gone
                             F     C
(Watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

[Verse]

                F    
Well, maybe I'll hit 
              C
the road with Bob
   G                       F
Or maybe hitch a ride with Van
     F
It's all gonna happen
                        C
And I'll be a happening man
Dm                              Bb
  And God must still be laughing  

at a boy and his plans
Dm               
  In the streets 
              F
where they were born
F                  C            
 And the hopscotch traces, well, 
        G             F
you can still see 'em here
    F                            C
The chalk lines faded and unclear
 
 
[Chorus]

Dm              Bb
  Time for me to  disappear
Dm                    F
  Put my old boots back on, whatever
                  
Watch me go, babe, 
         C
watch me gone
                   
(Watch me go, babe, 
         F
watch me gone)
                  
Watch me go, babe, 
         C
watch me gone
                   
(Watch me go, babe, 
         F
watch me gone)
                  
Watch me go, babe, 
         C
watch me gone
                   
(Watch me go, babe, 
         F
watch me gone)
                 
Watch me go, babe, 
       C
watch me gone  
                  
(Watch me go, babe, 
         F
watch me gone)
