Verse

       Bm                   A
By the time I'd slipped the ball and chain,
      F#m              G
I was heading down the road again
      Bm              A                 D
I was heading for somewhere I shouldn't be
[Verse] (+ bridge)
      Bm                 A
And I heard you shouting me who wait,
       F#m              G
Better turn back now or it's too late,
          G               Gm          D
'Cos it's heading for the point of no return

Verse

         Bm                 A
We could only run, we could never walk,
         F#m                  G
We could only shout, we could never talk
        Bm             A                   D
We were living way too close to the border line
[Verse] (+ bridge)
          Bm             A
While the city boys were hanging out
          F#m                       G
Trying to clean their shares in the laundromat,
       G              Gm          D
It was getting to the point of no return

Down the elevator to the door

It was getting to the point of no return
