Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

INTRO: G
C G
This city must belong to someone

I count the traffic through my tears
A7 C D
Wanting to write my ticket, write my ticket home
CHORUS:
C G
I got to get back in the arms of a man who loves me
C D
I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me
C G
Take me back, I was wrong
C D G
Write my ticket home
C
A place called Susie's, I'm a waitress
G C
Sue says, "Girl you'll get used to all this"
D
There is no way she could see
Em
How much that cold rain gets to me
Am C D
How much I've traded for a picture in my mind
CHORUS:
C G
I got to get back in the arms of a man who loves me

BRIDGE
D
I can hear 'em sitting 'round joking
Am D
"She talks so big, though she come back broken"
G C
Oh, I had to try, I ain't so proud
Am D
I wish I was talking 'bout nothing with them now
CHORUS
