VERSE 
A          D                  A 
  Throw my ticket in the wind 
A          D                 A  
  Throw my mattress out that door (out there too ?) 
         D       C#m    Bm 
Throw my letters in the sand 
          D      C#m  Bm

That tonight I'll be staying here with you

VERSE 
A              D                 A 
  I could have left this town by noon 
      A         D                  A  
But tonight I'd been to some place new 
          D         C#m        Bm 
But I was feelin' a little bit scattered  
         D        C#m      Bm 
And your love was all that mattered 
     A                  D                 A 
So tonight when I'll be staying here with you  
    D               A             D                 A 
Get ready, 'cause tonight I'll be staying here with you

Bb                       A 
  Is it really any wonder 
Bb                                   A   
  The changes we put on each other's heads 
C#                                D 
 You came down on me like roarinâ?? thunder 
Bm                          | E | D | C#m Cm | Bm break  
 I left my dreams on the riverbed 
 
 
VERSE 
                                 A  
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 
A            D             A  
 I hear them semis roarin' too  
             D      C#m    Bm 
If there's a driver on the road 
     D       C#m     Bm 
Then let him have my load 
         A             D                A 
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you
