Intro
Bmin - 4bars
Bmin D#maj
I put on my clothes like a body guard
Fm7 G#maj
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Bmin D#maj
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
Fm7 G#maj
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady
G#maj
There's an elephant in my head
D#maj
And I tip toe around it
Fm7
There are eggshells on the floor
G#maj
Therefore I never touch the ground
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
A#maj
You set out each day
A#maj
Never to arrive
Bmin
I got my eyes on the prize
D#maj
But it looks just like a mystery
Fm7 G#maj
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
Bmin D#maj
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
Fm7 G#maj
And the show really starts once the curtain falls
G#maj
Take this thorn from my side
D#maj
Fix this chip on my shoulder
Fm7
Time is racing with the clock
G#maj
And I ain't getting any older
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
A#maj
You set out each day
A#maj
Never to arrive
Gmin("Whoo!")
D#maj
I put on my finest thread
D#maj Fm7
And I wrap up my body tight
Fm7
With the sun in my eyes
D#maj
I step into the night
Fm7 G#maj
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light
D#maj
I don't expect you to believe me
Fm7 D#maj
But everything is al--right
D#maj
I don't make rules for a living
D#maj Fm7
I don't do tricks for a dime
Fm7
I was born on a good day,
D#maj
Deaf, dumb and blind.
Fm7 G#maj
Who am I to tell the truth?
I don't even know what it is.
D#maj Fm7 D#maj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
D#maj Fm7 D#maj
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
(now for the fun..double time)
D#maj
I tie my boots up tight
D#maj
And I head straight for bed
Fm7
There's a pistol and a crystal
Fm7
Underneath my pillow
D#maj
There's a tender heart
D#maj
Inside that ugly armadillo
Fm7
"These are tears of joy,"
A#maj
Cried the weeping willow
G#maj
There's a spirit in the air
A#maj
And there ain't no way around it
D#maj
I was not prepared to lose it
Fm7
On the moment that I found it
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
G#maj
It's like that old black hole,
A#maj
No matter how you try,
A#maj
You set out each day
A#maj
Never to arrive
Hang onto that end chord:Bmaj
