Intro
Amin - 4bars
Amin C#maj
I put on my clothes like a body guard
D#m7 F#maj
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Amin C#maj
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
D#m7 F#maj
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady
F#maj
There's an elephant in my head
C#maj
And I tip toe around it
D#m7
There are eggshells on the floor
F#maj
Therefore I never touch the ground
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
You set out each day
G#maj
Never to arrive
Amin
I got my eyes on the prize
C#maj
But it looks just like a mystery
D#m7 F#maj
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
Amin C#maj
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
D#m7 F#maj
And the show really starts once the curtain falls
F#maj
Take this thorn from my side
C#maj
Fix this chip on my shoulder
D#m7
Time is racing with the clock
F#maj
And I ain't getting any older
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
You set out each day
G#maj
Never to arrive
Gmin("Whoo!")
C#maj
I put on my finest thread
C#maj D#m7
And I wrap up my body tight
D#m7
With the sun in my eyes
C#maj
I step into the night
D#m7 F#maj
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light
C#maj
I don't expect you to believe me
D#m7 C#maj
But everything is al--right
C#maj
I don't make rules for a living
C#maj D#m7
I don't do tricks for a dime
D#m7
I was born on a good day,
C#maj
Deaf, dumb and blind.
D#m7 F#maj
Who am I to tell the truth?
I don't even know what it is.
C#maj D#m7 C#maj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
C#maj D#m7 C#maj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
(now for the fun..double time)
C#maj
I tie my boots up tight
C#maj
And I head straight for bed
D#m7
There's a pistol and a crystal
D#m7
Underneath my pillow
C#maj
There's a tender heart
C#maj
Inside that ugly armadillo
D#m7
"These are tears of joy,"
G#maj
Cried the weeping willow
F#maj
There's a spirit in the air
G#maj
And there ain't no way around it
C#maj
I was not prepared to lose it
D#m7
On the moment that I found it
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
It's like that old black hole,
G#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
You set out each day
G#maj
Never to arrive
Hang onto that end chord:Bmaj
