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