[verse]
G               D          Em                   C
Yeah, I’m still here and I still look about the same
    G        D               Em                 Am
But you disappeared though I sometimes say your name
    G                D             Em                  C
I’m still dressed in black and my apartment’s just out back
        G             D              Em                  Am     A
No, no, no, it’s just me. There’s no brand new circle of friends.


[chorus]
           C         D      G   Em
I took the wrong way out of town
           C         D      G
I took the wrong way out of town


[verse]
   G             D            Em              C
At night it’s so still when I walk back to my place
      G            D           Em                    Am
And inside it’s so still and I can’t stand to see my face
       G             D              Em                    C
In the mirror by the door, that you don’t walk through anymore
          G            D      Em                    Am     A
There’s a view from my bed of everything I’ll never have


[chorus]
           C         D      G   Em
I took the wrong way out of town
           C         D      G
I took the wrong way out of town



[bridge]
Em         G          D        Am
Time after time, with accurate precision
Em             G              D                Bm
Given a set of options I will make the wrong decision
Em          G                D                 Em
You used to point for me but now I’m scared to move
          C             D     A
Because I always go the wrong way

[instrumental section]
A E F#m D
A E F#m D


[verse]
     A           E                F#m                   D
This rug is worn out from all the people walking in and out
      A            E            F#m                  Bm
Of my life in this town, it was better when you were around
    A                   E               F#m                D
And someday you’ll come back and you’ll see that I haven’t changed
           A                E             F#m               Bm B
And you’ll feel like you’re home when you hear me say your name


[chorus]
           D        E       A   F#m
I took the wrong way out of town
           D        E       A   F#m
I took the wrong way out of town
           D        E       A   E F#m D
I took the wrong way out of town
           A        E A   
I took the wrong way, yeah.
