Intro
B C#m (G#m G) (G#m Am) (G#m G)
[Verse 1]
B C#m G#m B
I----- am the dotted line
E C#m G#m B
And you fill me in with whatever you like
E C#m G#m B
I’m---- just going through the motions
B C#m G#m B
I---- need an old fashioned potion
A
There's gotta be some old recipe
B
Cause I gotta get drunk
B B7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
E C#m G#m B
I---- lived in lies all my life
C#m G#m B
And I've been living here for a long, long time
B C#m G#m B
And I know it's been coming down a while now
C#m G#m B
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
A
But right now you're half way around the world
B B7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
E C#m G#m B
I'm still hanging round and round
C#m G#m B
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
C#m G#m B
In the bowels of history and time
C#m G#m B
I have learned to stay back and never shine
A
Now I feel stupid when I smile
B B7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]
(E Am) G#m B G#m B (G#m Am)
[Verse 4]
B C#m G#m B
I can't make up for everything I waste
C#m G#m B
And I know that I could never afford a taste
E C#m G#m B
Of anything that your lovely hands make
C#m G#m B
It eats away with a force so great
A
Just because it brings a smile to my face
B B7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
E C#m G#m B
I know of a city to steal from
C#m G#m B
And I know of a city to cheat on
E C#m G#m B
And I know of a city of sin
C#m G#m B
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
A
And say hello all over again
B
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
