Capo 2nd fret
I got my plans from trembling hands
I knew just what to do
Follow each step carefully
And hope they pulled me through
My father ran to different lands
And not a word we spoke
I was here to conquer fear
And bring some glory home
There s a world of hate and sorrow
out there standing in your way
There s a load of compromise
before you die
And each time you step forward
You get burned a little bit
No longer know the way to say goodbye
Now I m down here underneath your bedroom light
Rena please come out with me tonight.
I look in through the window
And I though I d take my chance
I taught myself to play
so I could be where people danced
No higher call than stars that fall
I waited patiently
A thousand miles of pavement
That became my destiny
You can wait a lonely lifetime
Wondering when it s gonna come
You can while away the hours getting stoned
But one day you get lucky
And you look in someone s eyes
That tell you you don t have to be alone
Now I m falling back just out of your sight
Rena please come out with me tonight
Oh now I know the way things go
And what I put you through
Cause when they try to get to me ( repeat twice)
[:/ / / / / ,, / / /:]
They get to me through you
I know it s not the kind of hurt that s easily set right
And I know you got your reasons to stay inside
But nothing ever happens when it s left out on it s own
You locked in there with just your wounded pride
I m down here and I m way too tired to fight
Rena please come out with me tonight

Rena please come out with me tonight
