Version 1
            [Intro]
Em D
[Verse 1]
Em                          G        D
Used to be a ghost town but even the ghosts got out.
                     C
And the sound of the highway died.
                     D                    Em
There's ashes in the swimming pool.
[Verse 2]
Em                                    G                    D
I saw you on your wedding night and I watched you sleeping in my arms.
                     C
You didn't wash your makeup off.
                D
Woke up looking scared as hell.
[Chorus]
    Em                                     G D
My love won't change. My love won't change. My love won't change a thing.
                    C
You're never coming back to me.
                    D
You're never coming back at all.
    C                                   B7
The waiter made a young girl cry at the table next to mine last night.
      Em                  D                  Am
And I know you would have brought him to his knees.
           C
But you're overseas.

[Verse 3]
Em                             G                     D
It doesn't seem so long ago we thought that we could change their minds.
              C
Stay here and fight it out.
                     D
A love that we could weaponize.
Em                                   G                 D
But I saw you losing faith and I was watching when the light went out.
          C
Know what revolution means.
                     D
And know it's not an option now.
[Chorus]
   Em                                      G D
My love won't change. My love won't change. Our love won't change a thing.
                    C                             D
I couldn't leave my father here, to finish up his life alone.
  C                                   B7
I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night when she caught me in a lie.
      Em                    D          Am
And I need you here to make both of us believe.
           C
But you're overseas.
[Break]
Em D
C                                   B7
Does your heart rest easy where you are?
                             Em
And do they treat you like a star?
            D           Am
And do they call you refugee?
     C
From overseas.
