FThrough the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyeF/C_____s,C
I can Bb(add9)barely define the shape of this moment in time.F
And far from flying high in clear blue skieF/C_____s,C
I'm Bb(add9)spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hidFe.
Bb If you negotiate the minFefield in the drive,
Bb And beat the dogs and cheat the cold elFectronic eyes,
Bb And if you maCke it past the shotDmguns in the hall,
Gm7 Dial the combination, open the priesthole, and if I'm in I'll tell you...F
Am There's a kid who had a big hallucinatiFon,
Am Making love to girls in magazineCs.
He wBbonders if you're sleeping with your new fDmound faith.
Gm7 Could anybody love him,
Or is it just a crCazy dreFa_____m ? (Aah, AaCh, ABb(add9)ah, Aah) F
AFnd if I show you my dark siCde,
Will you still holBbd me tonight F?
And if I open my hCeart to you,
Show you my weak siBbde,
What would you doF ?
Bb Would you sell your story to Rolling StonFe ?
Bb Would you take the children away... and leFave me alone ?
Bb And smile in reassuCrance as you whiDmsper down the phone,
Gm7 Would you send me packing,
COr would you take me hoFme ?
Am Thought I oughta bare my naked feeFlings.
AmT hought I oughta tear the curtain dCown.
I heBbld the blade in trembling hands,
DmPrepared to make it, but...
Gm7 Just then the phone rang,
I never had the nerve to make the final cuCt. Bb(add9) F
