Capo 2nd fret

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

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


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

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