Very nice, very simple.

Riff #1

e-----------7-7-7-7-5-
B-5-7-7-7-5-----------

This goes on for most of the song, except the chorus.

   A
Wasn't the question you asked me

   A
It wasn't the answer I gave

   E                                 A
That made me feel like I was on a train

   A
Was a distant voice

   A
Made me make the choice

   E                                    A  
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

   D                            A
'Cause I got a lot of things to do

   D                            A
A lot of places to go

   D                          E
I've got a lot of good things coming my way

   E
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.

A    A   E   A

Last time I was there
You were out on the couch
Pressed into ellipsal electric (?)

It was the way that you smiled
Made me know at once
That I had to get the fuck out of this town

'Cause I've decide to make a stand
And I'm not gonna take your hand
I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O.

A    A   E   A (fade out)
