      [Intro]
C G C G
Bm Em C C

[Verse]
C                               G
  And I was standing in the basement
C                                    G
  And you were dancing at the party upstairs
C                                            G
  You weren't bothered by the look on my face you said
C                                       G
  And I had the motor and the moment to spare
          G                   Bm
So I said honey I care, can I take you to the picture show
     Em                         C  C
If I try my best to move slow

[Verse]
C                                   G
  And I was standing in a dark room
C                                 G
  With the blood coming out of my eyes
C                                 G
  Ruminations on the picture of a full moon
C                                G
  And the vein with a thought on my life, boy you better come inside
       B
'Cause twenty's too young back home
          Em                      C  C
But she's tired of sleeping alone

[Chorus]
        Em                        D
Yeah, I picked up the bags, and I called a cab
       G                     C
To the house with the busted door
      Em                  D
We're in a dumb state for twenty-five days
        C
But you didn't stay a minute more
        Em        D
Leaving Casanova scratched all over
G                        C
Bleeding on the bathroom floor
              Em       D           C
Saying it's a long way back to Oklahoma from New York

[Interlude]
C G

[Bridge]
      C
Yeah, hush a little already, get up and fight it
   G
If love's the only weapon you got
                              C
Then let 'em know that you'll die by it
                      G
And if she cries out, baby I could die now, waiting for the ride down
C
  Wake me up when your facing the light of it
G
  He takes a minute and tells her opportunity
   C
He says you know me
                               G
To backtrack and catch what he missed
                 B
Yeah, and it's a pretty bad burden to bear
          Em                       C  C
But she's tough enough to not care

[Chorus 2]
        Em                           D
Yeah, a toast to the guy, who's been dipping my eyes
G                           C
Ripping out a guy that she knows
         Em            D
She says I've tried forgiveness
       C
But forgiveness is a hell of a drug
           Em                  D
And I'm goddamm depleted and I won't stop bleeding
    G                   C
I'm kicking up just the floor
           Em       D           C
And it's a long way back to Oklahoma from New York

[Solo]
Em D G C
Em D C C

[Chorus]
        Em                        D
Yeah, I picked up the bags, and I called a cab
       G                     C
To the house with the busted door
      Em                  D
We're in a dumb state for twenty-five days
        C
But you didn't stay a minute more
        Em        D
Leaving Casanova scratched all over
G                        C
Bleeding on the bathroom floor
              Em       D           C
Saying it's a long way back to Oklahoma from New York
            Em       D           C
Yeah it's a long way back to Oklahoma from New York
            Em       D           C
Yeah it's a long way back to Oklahoma from New York
