E
Looking at your watch a third time
E                               A   Asus4  A  Asus4  A
waiting in the station for the bus
E
Going to a place that's far,
E                               A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
so far away and if that's not enough
B            A      G#m    C#m
Going where nobody says hello,
C#m                        Bm          A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
they don't talk to anybody they don't know
E
You'll wind up in some factory
E                                           A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
E
Walk home to an empty house,
E                               A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
sit around all by yourself
B                     A           G#m  C#m
I know it might sound strange but I believe
C#m                   Bm          A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
You'll be coming back before too long

[Chorus]
E                 F#m    B
Don't go back to Rockville,
E                 F#m  B
don't go back to Rockville,
E                 F#m   B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

[Verse 2]
E
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
E                               A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
I don't care that you're not here with me
E
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
E                               A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
B                    A      G#m   
But something better happen soon
        C#m                  Bm        A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

[Chorus]
E                 F#m    B
Don't go back to Rockville,
E                 F#m  B
don't go back to Rockville,
E                 F#m   B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

[Bridge]
E                           A    B    A   B
It's not as though I really need you
E                          A    B    A  B
If you were here I'd only bleed you
F#m      C#m          F#m       C#m                A
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
           A               B
That's not how it ought to be
            B              A            G#m    C#m
Well I know it might sound strange but I believe
C#m                   Bm          A   Asus4   A  Asus4  A
You'll be coming back before too long

[Chorus]
E                 F#m    B
Don't go back to Rockville
E                 F#m  B
don't go back to Rockville
E                 F#m   B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year

E                 F#m    B
Don't go back to Rockville
E                 F#m  B
don't go back to Rockville
E                 F#m   B
don't go back to Rockville
A
And waste another year
