E7

[Verse 1]
              A                E
I changed the lock on my front door
       A               E
so you can't see me anymore
              A              E
And you can't come inside my house
              A              E
And you can't lie down on my couch
              A                E         E7
I changed the lock on my front door

[Verse 2]
              A            E
I changed the number on my phone
             A             E
so you can't call me up at home
              A                   E
And you can't say those things to me
             A               E
that make me fall down on my knees
              A            E            E7
I changed the number on my phone

[Verse 3]
              A             E
I changed the kind of car I drive
             A                E
so you can't see me when I go by
              A               E
And you can't chase me up the street
              A                  E
And you can't knock me off of my feet
              A             E           E7
I changed the kind of car I drive

[Verse 4]
              A                 E
I changed the kind of clothes I wear
             A          E
so you can't find me anywhere
              A            E
And you can't spot me in a crowd
              A                E
And you can't call my name out loud
              A                 E         E7
I changed the kind of clothes I wear

[Verse 5]
              A                     E
I changed the tracks underneath the train
             A        E
so you can't find me again
              A        E
And you can't trace my path
              A       E
And you can't hear my laugh
              A                     E
I changed the tracks underneath the train


[Break]

A   E   E7

[Verse 6]
              A            E
I changed the name of this town
             A         E
so you can't follow me down
              A               E
And you can't touch me like before
              A                E
And you can't make me want you more
              A            E           E7
I changed the name of this town

[Outro]
              A                E
I changed the lock on my front door
              A            E
I changed the number on my phone
              A             E
I changed the kind of car I drive
              A                 E
I changed the kind of clothes I wear
              A                     E
I changed the tracks underneath the train
              A            E      E7
I changed the name of this town
              A            E      E7
I changed the name of this town
              A            E
I changed the name of this town

A    E    A
