[Intro]
G Bm Em C

[Verse 1]
G
 Smokin' more than
a steam train
Bm
  Box of matches and
a pill tray
Em
  They're gonna kill
you in the same way
C
 We end up dyin' on
 the same day
G
 Little money on a horse race
Bm
  Couple pints in
the same place
Em
  Anything to pass
the time away
C
 'Cause home's
 a lonely place

[Pre-Chorus]
          Em    D
When love leaves, all
              C
you got is routines
Em              D
  The odds, the ends,
             C
 and all the in-betweens

[Chorus]
            C
Kitty don't go,
               Em
I want you to stay
             D
Not ready to be, to be
               C
alone in this place
            C
Kitty don't leave,
                         Em
 'causе it won't be the same

Whеn will I see you again?

Oh yeah

 I'm waitin' on God to say

Waitin' on God to say

[Verse 2]
                  G
Feel the reds new rumble
Eyes are red from the
 Bm
burnin' cold
Doors chained and the
 Em
 curtains closed
That's when I finally
         C
 let the tears roll

[Pre-Chorus]
                Em    D
Cause when love leaves,
                  C
all you got is routines
Em              D
  The odds, the ends,
             C
and all the in-between

[Chorus]
            C
Kitty don't go,
               Em
I want you to stay
             D
Not ready to be, to be
               C
alone in this place
            C
Kitty don't leave,
                         Em
 'causе it won't be the same
                     D
Whеn will I see you again?
