Capo 4th Fret 
 
G            C           G                      C
Every time I go downtown I think I might find you around.  
G                   C             Am        D
I take your picture just in case, anybody's seen-  
G                    C             G                        C
A girl who's had her better days, just like the last place that you stayed, 
 G                  C               Am                     D
Where I can see you tipping back the curtains, looking for me.  
 
                       C             G
You say. ?Baby do you have to go away  
                 C              G
Just before the deal gets real sweet,  
               C                      G
Just before my trouble finally pays off,  
                   D
Can you cover for me? 
                   Am Em7 C
Can you cover for me??  
 
G                C
I see you coming down the hill.  
G                          C
You smile at me like I'm a worn out thrill,  
G                        C Am           D
As if I have some endless well of dignity.  
G                         C
You cut yourself like a high school kid-  
G                   C
I did it once, everybody did,  
G                  C  Am           D
Just to feel the emptying of everything.  
 
                  C               G
Aww Baby just to watch it all go away,  
                C              G
Every time the deal gets real sweet,  
                 C                   G
Every time our trouble finally paid off.  
                 D                        Am  Em7 C
We said, ?Cover for me, we said cover for me.?  
 
G                C           G                      C
It's 2 years of depravity for every year of your recovery,  
G               C             Am                 D
And you'll lose eventually, if that's what you need.  
G                        C
Of all the friends that make me sad,  
G                 C
You're the one I just can't have-  
G                C
All the numbers that you left me,  
Am                  D
They just ring and ring.  
 
                      C          G
I said, ?Baby do you have to go away,  
                 C              G
Just before the deal gets real sweet,  
                 C                   G
Just before my trouble finally pays off,  
                   D                        Am
Can't you cover for me, like I covered for you,  
            Em7     C                        G   C G D
Like I covered for you, like I covered for you?? 
       G            C           G      D (repeat twice and end on G)
