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