1st verse:
Well, I've slept out on these streets before
and I've drowned myself in every bar,
    C                   G
but not like I did with you.
                                C
Now, I've got one more night of tellin' lies,
  G               C
I hope they never televise,
    G             D       G            
the things that I used to do.

2nd verse:
And now I'm on the run again
for the dumbest thing that I ever did
    C                          G
and I don't know what I should do.
                  G              C
You said "You can hardly see you won't get far",
      G           C
so, I let the dog drive the car
    G              D       G            
and hoped that I'd make it through

chorus:
                         D      C         G       
And I did but I might be goin' away for a while,
           D      C         G       
I might be goin' away for a while.
              D             C      G         
They might be shipping' me away to Deadman's Isle
    G          C             G                 C
and if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial,
        G      D         G          
I'll be goin' away for a while.

3rd verse:
I've practiced stuff and stumbling around
but that night I really knocked you down
    C                        G
and now I don't know what to do.
             G                  C
And now that dog went off but I can't blame him
      G                   C
gotta get done under this mess I'm in,
  G               D        G            
I won't be comin' home too soon.

chorus:
                  D      C         G       
Oh and i might be goin' away for a while,
           D      C         G       
I might be goin' away for a while.
              D             C      G         
They might be shipping' me away to Deadman's Isle
    G          C             G                 C
and if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial,
        G      D         G          
I'll be goin' away for a while.

4th verse::
I never should've let that dog drive, I never should've let him in,
I never should've drank that last ride, I never should've drank that gin.
                                                  C
And now I've got one more night stuck inside of a police station
            G                   D    G            
and I don't think I'll see that dog again.
         G                  C
I've got one more night I'm seein' stars,
     G               C
slip on my stripes behind the bars,
  G                    D          G            
I guess they found out where I've been.

chorus/outro:
            D      C         G       
And now I'm goin' away for a while,
            D      C         G       
and now I'm goin' away for a while,
                D            C      G         
I guess they're shipping me away to Deadman's Isle.
              G                 C               G               C
Now, I've got one more night of tellin' lies, I hope they never televise
     G                   C                   G               C           
this one last night with crooked eyes; let's light this city up tonight.
         G      C        G      C
'Cos I'm goin' away, I'm goin' away,
    G      D         G     D G
I'm goin' away for a while.
