Verse 1:
say easily with me well i show affection
but it's creeping up creeping up on me
in another direction
i love a ride and i know someday
I'm gonna buy it so i try to ask no questions
but the weary one is often me well
Do you think it's obsession
Breakdown:
the smoke will find you a choker that matches your coat
not fit to be tied
the mirror it makes it all clearer
as you stand alone and can see your behind
(scat)
Verse 2:
well they tried it and they like
to say nobody would believe this
yes you tried it and you liked it
but nobody could ever conceive of it
the way you stayed up locked away up
keeping the flame for yourself
the way you played it out pushing the blame
of reaping the fame for yourself
Bridge:
oh, it's a it's a dead end it's ts
ts ts ts ts dead end day
it's a dead, a lonely day
said it's it's a dead end and it's ts
ts ts ts ts dead end thing
it's a dead end, a lonely day
+
and it's a long way a long way down sing it again
and it's a long, long way
it's a long way down
Long it's a long way-ee-ay
Verse 3 (Here just palm mute the base notes of the verse chords):
change is coming baby don't be startled lady
every once in awhile they Do it again
you're gonna shake it, shake it you know
you wanna take it
back to where you once belonged
back beneath the sheets
and between the pillow cases
and the snake he races out
and then he tangles into your hair
oh, funny the fruits you choose oh
the time it takes the words you lose
and it all goes back to rotation
over the back of your hand
said the back of your hand said
the back of your hand
well the map is your hand
it's the back of your hand
s-s-said the back of your hand
you know the map is your hand
oh you better take pictures
and remember what you can
cause it's a long, long way
and it's a long, long way-ee
and it's a long, long,
+
mm it's a long, lo-ong way down
cause it's a long way, long way down
oooh it's a long ooo-oo-ooh
