[Intro]
Bb Am Dm
[Verse 1]
Bb7M
Boarded windows, rusty stairs
Local color push their wares
Am Dm
They're stuck in their ways
Bb7M
You tell me that you just don't care
C
Don't pretend that you don't care
[Verse 2]
Bb7M
Waves of undulating grain
Am
Visible from the little train
D7
Where you slept
Gm
Sorry that I ripped your dress
C A7
Sorry that I ripped your dress, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
Dm F
You're already gone
Bb
This house ain't a home
F
I'll take the last flight
Dm F
I stare at my hands
Bb
We'll make our last stand
F
I'm leavin' Detroit
[Verse 3]
Bb7M
The pushin' billboards, fast food chains
Am
Tires whining softly in the rain
Dm
On the outskirts of town
Bb7M
What it is that I don't got
C
Who it is that I'm not
[Verse 4]
Bb7M
You like it rough, or so you said
I hit you 'til my fingers bled
Am D7
Your eyes are nickel blue
Gm
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
Eb C
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]

You're already gone

I'm leavin' Detroit
