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