Intro:    G    F    C(4X)
In your Gblue room sit with a Fcandle Clit
On a Gcharcoal bed of Fdreams you carry Amon
Though the Gstreets are hot you can Fstill a Clot
                        G                    F     Am/      E/ D  C  
But you can walk out and forget there isn't time to take a  loan
But you're Fnow into something that E7you were immune to beA7fore
And there Fwasn't a sign you just E7fell into line at the A7doorF  
And the Gquestion sands in the Fpalms of Chands 
                       G                 F     Am/      E/  D  C  
Of the wretches picking pieces of their minds up off the floor
On the mantel place there is still a trace
Of the plastic face you hung your moments on
And the sudden scare of a landing there on the sea
That you don't care to even see when you're alone
But the day is too short and you can't find support in the sun
You had thought you'd decide to just stick out the ride as it comes
But the emptiness of a thing that's less than what it was thought to be
Has left you wondering just how much more
