Contessa

[A]Contessa, Contessa, oh please leave your hat by the do[D]or
[A]Well, I thought I told you you couldn’t call round an[D]ymore
[A]And outside in the street and the rains turning tricks on the [D]day
[A]Contessa, I’ve told you so why do you come any[D]way?

[A]Well, ten years ago by the motorway bridge with a smi[D]le
[A]And your red lacquer shoes, oh you lived inside me for a w[D]hile
[A]I had an old cow bone that I used to draw hearts in the [D]dust
[A]Contessa please tell me just what the hell happened to [D]us

‘Cause I’ve [E]gone
Gone r[D]un that roa[A]d
I’ve [E]gone
Gone[D] run that ro[A]ad
Run that[E] road hom[D]e        [A]

[A]I was a scared little kid with a head full of hormones and ho[D]les
[A]With one eye on atonement and a body already grown o[D]ld
[A]There you were with your secrets and your notebook of genuine [D]lies
Saying “[A]girl its your party but you sure as hell don’t w[D]anna cry, don’t wanna cry

I’ve [E]gone
Gone[D] run that r[A]oad
I’ve [E]gone
Gone[D] run that ro[A]ad
Run that[E] road ho[D]me     [A]

Yeah, run that road home

[A]So I was the black sheep, yeah, I was the lone caval[D]ier
[A]But with a face like stone, oh Connie its lonely out [D]here
[A]I’ve taken some pills and I’ve played with the hand I was[D] dealt
[A]And you saved me that time but now I’ve learned to save mys[D]elf

And I’ve [E]gone
Gone [D]run that [A]road
I’ve [E]gone
Gone ru[D]n that roa[A]d

Run that road home

Oh, run that road home

Yeah, run that, run that, rung that, run that, road home

Yeah, run that road home
