Intro: D A Gbm G Verse 1: D A The casino doesn't like when you run the tables Gbm G And though the box is wrapped up nice, it's just a cage to you D A Those electric fences buzz, the stallions leave the stable Gbm G And that small town's even smaller now in your rearview Bm A You ran with all the wild things Gbm G A liberated libertine who then longed for home Chorus: D 'Cause it's where you're from A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on Gbm No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall D A And you hate this song, but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone Verse 2: D A Give the people what they want, then you keep it movin' Gbm G Make your plans and friends of strangers, makeup on your tie D A Twenty watches in the safe 'cause your time is money Gbm G Love is ice upon the ladder that you need to climb Bm A Gbm She captured your attention, so free of all pretension G D It stopped you cold because she loved you so Chorus: A Pretty as a picture that you didn't post Bm Looking at you like you're made of solid gold G Never official, you mention that you're single to the girls at the bar D A You hate this song, but you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G A Gbm D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone Bridge: A G A Gbm D You're using nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself A G But darling, you end up hurting everybody else A Gbm D A G The self-harm of never being where you are A It's bedtime, but you're sitting in your car G You're missing all the best parts Chorus: D And they're all at home A She's hanging Christmas lights with your son Bm Sneak into the bathroom to call her mom G And say, "It's not working, it's just not worth it if we're not what he wants" D A But you love this song, you wake up on the train with your headphones gone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon now it's almost gone Chorus: A Aunt Virginia with a church dress on Bm No elbows on the table, and the neighbors lawn always looked better G Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall Chorus: D A But you love this song, you wake up on the train and you're all alone Em Then that melody is all you want G D You never knew that it was Babylon 'til it was gone This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
