Intro
F# G#m (D#m G) (D#m Am) (D#m G)
[Verse 1]
F# G#m D#m F#
I----- am the dotted line
B G#m D#m F#
And you fill me in with whatever you like
B G#m D#m F#
I’m---- just going through the motions
F# G#m D#m F#
I---- need an old fashioned potion
E
There's gotta be some old recipe
F#
Cause I gotta get drunk
F# F#7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
B G#m D#m F#
I---- lived in lies all my life
G#m D#m F#
And I've been living here for a long, long time
F# G#m D#m F#
And I know it's been coming down a while now
G#m D#m F#
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
E
But right now you're half way around the world
F# F#7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
B G#m D#m F#
I'm still hanging round and round
G#m D#m F#
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
G#m D#m F#
In the bowels of history and time
G#m D#m F#
I have learned to stay back and never shine
E
Now I feel stupid when I smile
F# F#7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]
(B Am) D#m F# D#m F# (D#m Am)
[Verse 4]
F# G#m D#m F#
I can't make up for everything I waste
G#m D#m F#
And I know that I could never afford a taste
B G#m D#m F#
Of anything that your lovely hands make
G#m D#m F#
It eats away with a force so great
E
Just because it brings a smile to my face
F# F#7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
B G#m D#m F#
I know of a city to steal from
G#m D#m F#
And I know of a city to cheat on
B G#m D#m F#
And I know of a city of sin
G#m D#m F#
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
E
And say hello all over again
F#
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
[Outro]
