Intro
C Dm (Am G) (Am Am) (Am G)
[Verse 1]
C Dm Am C
I----- am the dotted line
F Dm Am C
And you fill me in with whatever you like
F Dm Am C
I’m---- just going through the motions
C Dm Am C
I---- need an old fashioned potion
A#
There's gotta be some old recipe
C
Cause I gotta get drunk
C C7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am C
I---- lived in lies all my life
Dm Am C
And I've been living here for a long, long time
C Dm Am C
And I know it's been coming down a while now
Dm Am C
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
A#
But right now you're half way around the world
C C7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
F Dm Am C
I'm still hanging round and round
Dm Am C
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
Dm Am C
In the bowels of history and time
Dm Am C
I have learned to stay back and never shine
A#
Now I feel stupid when I smile
C C7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]
(F Am) Am C Am C (Am Am)
[Verse 4]
C Dm Am C
I can't make up for everything I waste
Dm Am C
And I know that I could never afford a taste
F Dm Am C
Of anything that your lovely hands make
Dm Am C
It eats away with a force so great
A#
Just because it brings a smile to my face
C C7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
F Dm Am C
I know of a city to steal from
Dm Am C
And I know of a city to cheat on
F Dm Am C
And I know of a city of sin
Dm Am C
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
A#
And say hello all over again
C
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
[Outro]
