[Verse 1]
G# A#m Fm G#
I----- am the dotted line
C# A#m Fm G#
And you fill me in with whatever you like
C# A#m Fm G#
I’m---- just going through the motions
G# A#m Fm G#
I---- need an old fashioned potion
F#
There's gotta be some old recipe
G#
Cause I gotta get drunk
G# G#7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
C# A#m Fm G#
I---- lived in lies all my life
A#m Fm G#
And I've been living here for a long, long time
G# A#m Fm G#
And I know it's been coming down a while now
A#m Fm G#
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
F#
But right now you're half way around the world
G# G#7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
C# A#m Fm G#
I'm still hanging round and round
A#m Fm G#
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
A#m Fm G#
In the bowels of history and time
A#m Fm G#
I have learned to stay back and never shine
F#
Now I feel stupid when I smile
G# G#7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
G# A#m Fm G#
I can't make up for everything I waste
A#m Fm G#
And I know that I could never afford a taste
C# A#m Fm G#
Of anything that your lovely hands make
A#m Fm G#
It eats away with a force so great
F#
Just because it brings a smile to my face
G# G#7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
C# A#m Fm G#
I know of a city to steal from
A#m Fm G#
And I know of a city to cheat on
C# A#m Fm G#
And I know of a city of sin
A#m Fm G#
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
F#
And say hello all over again
G#
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
