Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)

by M=94tley Cr=81e

We could sail away or catch a freight train

Or a rocket ship into outer space

Nothin' left to do too many things were said

To ever make it feel like yesterday did

Seasons must change, separate paths, separate ways

If we blame it anything, let's blame it on the rain

I knew it all along, I'd have to write this song

To young to fall in love, guess we knew it all along

That's alright, that's OK

We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain

That's alright, that's OK

C <- (go back to verse progression with this C)

Let's turn the page

My friends called today, down from L.A.

They were shootin' pool all night and sleepin' half the day

They said I could crash if I could find my own way

I told them you were leaving on a bus to go away

That's alright, that's OK

We were two kids in love tryin' to find our way

That's alright, that's OK

Held our dreams in our hands, let our minds run away

That's alright, that's OK

We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain

That's alright, let's turn the page

And remember what I say, and it goes this way

Girl, don't go away mad (sing this part with the ending chord

F C progression that follows)

Girl, just go away!

I'm not really great at chord names, so I'll tab out the ending part, but=

B string (whatever that chord is).
