BbIn the cuFl de saGmc,    F   Gmso Bbsmooth
FI loGmok down
FBe less Ebsure, siFr
And take your Bbrest 
It's been much too long
Since we drifted in song
Lay it down wet
In this hide-away 
Oh I travelled far
To the nearest star
And met Palomar, ...mar..., mar...
And we don't care just who you know
It's who you are
And when they all go home
Down the cobblestones
You can double back (spoken "This is it")
To a cul de sac
Mmm 
Oh, I travelled far
The nearest star
And Mount Palomar, Palomar, Palomar, Palomar
And we don't care just who d'you know who d'you know
And who you really are, really are 
And when they all,
All go home
Down the cobblestones
You will double back
To a cul de sac
You know, you know you will
You will, oh, will double back
And not very far
To a cul de sac
You, you, you... will double back
To a cul de sac
You know, you know it's not very far away
No, no 
It's just a cul de sac 
And you know, and you know, and you know... it's not very very far away,
No
It's just a cul de sac
Donn, donn, donn...
You're not very far away, No ohhh
It's not, it's not very far away
It's not as far as a country mile
(You got it)
It's just a cul de sac

Bb F Gm F Gm Bb

In the cul de sac, so smooth

F Gm

I look down

F Eb F

Be less sure, sir

And take your rest

It's been much too long

Since we drifted in song

Lay it down wet

In this hide-away

Oh I travelled far

To the nearest star

And met Palomar, ...mar..., mar...

And we don't care just who you know

It's who you are

And when they all go home

Down the cobblestones

You can double back (spoken "This is it")

To a cul de sac

Mmm

Oh, I travelled far

The nearest star

And Mount Palomar, Palomar, Palomar, Palomar

And we don't care just who d'you know who d'you know

And who you really are, really are

And when they all,

All go home

Down the cobblestones

You will double back

To a cul de sac

You know, you know you will

You will, oh, will double back

And not very far

To a cul de sac

You, you, you... will double back

To a cul de sac

You know, you know it's not very far away

No, no

It's just a cul de sac

And you know, and you know, and you know... it's not very very far away,

It's just a cul de sac

Donn, donn, donn...

You're not very far away, No ohhh

It's not, it's not very far away

It's not as far as a country mile

(You got it)

It's just a cul de sac
