Standard (EADGBE)

Looking at your watch a third time

waiting in the station for the bus

Going to a place that's far,

so far away and if that's not enough

Going where nobody says hello,

they don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory

that's full time filth and nowhere left to go

Walk home to an empty house,

sit around all by yourself

I know it might sound strange, but I believe

You'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville,

don't go back to Rockville,

don't go back to Rockville

And waste another year

(Verse 2, same as first)

(chorus)

It's not as though I really need you

If you were here I'd only bleed you

But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and

That's not how it ought to be

Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe

You'll be coming back before too long

(chorus)
