None of them
Intro
D A D G
Verse 1
D A
The casino doesn't like when you run the tables
D/F# G
And though the box is wrapped up nice, it's just a cage to you
D A
Those electric fences buzz
The stallion flees the stable
D/F# G
And that small town's even smaller now in your rearview
Bm A
You ran with all the wild things
D/F# G
A liberated libertine who then longed for home
Pre-Chorus
D
'Cause it's where you're from
A
Aunt Virginia with her church dress on
No elbows on the table
D/F#
And the neighbor's lawn always looked better
G
Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall
Chorus
D
And you hate this song
A
But you wake up on the train with your headphones gone
Em
Then that melody is all you want
G
You never knew that it was Babylon
D
'Til it was gone
Verse 2
D A
Give the people what they want, then you keep it movin'
D/F# G
Make your plans and friends, a stranger's makeup on your tie
D A
Twenty watches in the safe 'cause your time is money
D/F# G
Love is ice upon the ladder that you need to climb
Bm A D/F#
She captured your attention, so free of all pretension
G
It stopped you cold
Pre-Chorus
D
Because she loved you so
A
Pretty as a picture that you didn't post
D/F#
Looking at you like you're made of solid gold
Never official
G
You mention you're single to the girls at the bar
Chorus
D
You hate this song
A
But you wake up on the train with your headphones gone
Em
Then that melody is all you want
G
You never knew that it was Babylon
A D/F# D
'Til it was gone
Bridge
A G A D/F# D
You're using nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself
A G
But darling, you end up hurting everybody else
A D/F# D A G
The self-harm of never being where you are
A
It's bedtime, but you're sitting in your car
G
You're missin' all the best parts
Pre-Chorus
D
And they're all at home
A
She's hangin' Christmas lights with your son
D/F#
Sneaking to the bathroom to call her mom
And say, "It's not workin'
G
It's just not worth it if we're not what he wants"
Chorus
D
But you love this song
A
You wake up on the train with your headphones gone
Em
Then that melody is all you want
G
You never knew that it was Babylon
D
And now, it's almost gone
Pre-Chorus
A
Aunt Virginia with her church dress on
No elbows on the table
Bm
And the neighbor's lawn always looked better (It's almost gone)
G
Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall
Chorus
D
But you love this song
A
You wake up on the train and you're all alone
Em
Then that melody is all you want
G
You never knew that it was Babylon
D
'Til it was gone
