Intro
E F#m (C#m G) (C#m Am) (C#m G)
[Verse 1]
E F#m C#m E
I----- am the dotted line
A F#m C#m E
And you fill me in with whatever you like
A F#m C#m E
I’m---- just going through the motions
E F#m C#m E
I---- need an old fashioned potion
D
There's gotta be some old recipe
E
Cause I gotta get drunk
E E7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
A F#m C#m E
I---- lived in lies all my life
F#m C#m E
And I've been living here for a long, long time
E F#m C#m E
And I know it's been coming down a while now
F#m C#m E
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
D
But right now you're half way around the world
E E7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
A F#m C#m E
I'm still hanging round and round
F#m C#m E
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
F#m C#m E
In the bowels of history and time
F#m C#m E
I have learned to stay back and never shine
D
Now I feel stupid when I smile
E E7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]
(A Am) C#m E C#m E (C#m Am)
[Verse 4]
E F#m C#m E
I can't make up for everything I waste
F#m C#m E
And I know that I could never afford a taste
A F#m C#m E
Of anything that your lovely hands make
F#m C#m E
It eats away with a force so great
D
Just because it brings a smile to my face
E E7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
A F#m C#m E
I know of a city to steal from
F#m C#m E
And I know of a city to cheat on
A F#m C#m E
And I know of a city of sin
F#m C#m E
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
D
And say hello all over again
E
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
