 G                   Em7                Cadd9  Cadd9 
Now,pretty Baby, I'm Running Back Home To You
 G                      Em7                           Cadd9  Cadd9 
Fresh Out The Slammer I Know Who My First Call Will Be To (Fresh Out The 
Slammer,oh
 
[Verse 1]
 G                            Em7                           Cadd9   Cadd9 
Another Summer Taking Cover,rolling Thunder, He Don't Understand Me
 G                                  Em7                          Cadd9     
Splintered Back In Winter, Silent Dinners,bitter,he Was With Her In Dreams
 Cadd9 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 G                                     Em7                             Cadd9 
Gray And Blue And Fights and Tunnels, Handcuffed To The Spell I Was Under,
                      Cadd9 
For Just One Hour of Sunshine
 G                                  Em7                             Cadd9 
Years of Labor,locks, and Ceilings,in The Shade Of How He Was Feeling
                            Cadd9 
But It's Gonna Be Alright,I Did My Time
 
[Chorus]
 G                   Em7                 Cadd9  Cadd9 
Now,pretty Baby, I'm Running Back Home To You
  G                      Em7                           Cadd9  Cadd9 
Fresh Out The Slammer, I Know Who My First Call Will Be To (Fresh Out The 
Slammer, Oh)
 
[Verse 2]
 G                               Em7                           Cadd9     Cadd9 
Camera Flashes, Welcome Bashes, Get The Matches, Toss The Ashes Off The Ledge
          G                              Em7                        Cadd9  
As I Said In My Letters, Now That I Know Better, I Will Never Lose My Baby 
 Cadd9 
Again
 
[Pre-chorus]
 G                                        Em7                        Cadd9 
My Friends Tried, But I Wouldn't Hear It, Watch Me Daily Dissapearing
                            Cadd9 
For Just One Glimpse Of His Smile
 G                                   Em7                           Cadd9 
All Those Nights You Kept Me Going, Swirled You Into All Of My Poems
                                  Cadd9 
Now We're At The Starting Line, I Did My Time
 
[Chorus]
 G                     Em7 
Now, Pretty Baby, I'm Running
 
[Bridge]
 Cadd9                                                      Cadd9 
To The House Where You Still Wait Up, And That Porch Light Gleams
       G                                       Em7 
To The One Who Says I'm The Girl Of His American Dreams
       Cadd9 
And No Matter What I've Done, It Wouldn't Matter Anyway
         Cadd9                                                G 
Ain't No Way I'm Gonna Screw Up Now That I Know What's At Stake Here
        Em7                                 Cadd9            Cadd9 
At The Park Where We Used To Sit On Children Swings, Wearing Imaginary Rings
 
{Outro]
 G  Em7                             Cadd9       Cadd9  G 
       But It's Gonna Be Alright I Did My Time
