Will handle me carefully

Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
Bm       A      *G to G/F#     Em7(2)

on the E string, on the last beat and go straight to Em7)

Now that her soft touch is gone

She's got her kid gloves on        (riff 2)
(riff 2 repeats from the end of the first chorus more or less
to the end of the song but its down in the mix and hard to tell)

New York just gets me down
GG Piano Chord 
                A7A7 Piano Chord 

When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Bm         A        G to G/F#     Em7(2)
Back to my home town

DD Piano Chord 
           Em7(1)     DD Piano Chord

And all the way I dreamed
DD Piano Chord 
                Em7(1)    DD Piano Chord 
     G/BG/B Piano Chord 

Flesh wrapped in velveteen
GG Piano Chord 
                           A7A7 Piano Chord 

And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Bm        Cadd9 (riff 1) D
Gulped down by a Greyhound
