Capo: 2nd Fret

[C]I got my plans from trembling hands, I [F]knew just what to [C]do
[C]Follow each step care[Am]fully [F]and hope they pulled me [G]through
[C]My father ran to different lands [F]and not a word we [C]spoke
[C]I was here to [Am]conquer fear and [F]bring some glory [G]home
There's a [F]world of hate and sorrow out there [Em]standing in your way
There's a [F]load of com[G]promise before you [C]die
And [F]each time you step forward you get [Em]burned a little bit
No [C]longer know the [G]way to say [Am]goodbye
Now I'm [F]down here under[Dm7]neath  your bedroom [G]light
[F]Rena please come [G]out with me to[C]night

I [C]look in through the window and I [F]though I'd take my [C]chance
[C]I taught myself to [Am]play so I could [F]be where people [G]danced
No [C]higher call than stars that fall I [F]waited patient[C]ly
A [C]thousand miles of [Am]pavement that be[F]came my desti[G]ny
You can [F]wait a lonely lifetime Wondering [Em]when it's gonna come
You can [F]while away the [G]hours getting [C]stoned
But [F]one day you get lucky and you [Em]look in someone's eyes
That [C]tell you you don't [G]have to be a[Am]lone
Now I'm [F]falling back [Dm7]just out of your [G]sight
[F]Rena please come [G]out with me to[C]night

Oh [F]now I know the [C]way things go
And [F]what I put you [C]through
Cause [Am]when they try to [Em]get to me
They [F]get to me through [G]you

INSTRUMENTAL:  [C]      [C]      [F]      [C]
               [C] [Em] [Am]     [F]      [G]

I know [F]it's not the kind of hurt that's [Em]easily set right
And I [F]know you got your [G]reasons to stay in[C]side
But [F]nothing ever happens when it's [Em]left out on it's own
You [C]locked in there with [G]just your wounded [Am]pride
I'm [F]down here and I'm [Dm7]way too tired to [G]fight
[F]Rena please come [G]out with me to[Am]night
[F]Rena please come [G]out with me to[C]night
