[Intro]
(Riff)
Well easily with me I show affection
(Riff)
But it's a creeping' up, a creeping' up on me in another direction
[Verse 1]
(Riff)
I love, I write, and I die and I try to ask no questions
(Riff)
But the weary one is still me. Do you think its obsession?
[Bridge]
D7The smoke will find you a chC7oker that matches your cD7oat, not fit to be C7tied
D7The mirror it makes it all cC7learer as you stand alonD7e and can't see youC7r behind
[Verse 2]
(Riff)
They tried to tell me I could say that nobody could believe this
(Riff)
Well they tried to tell me I could say nobody could achieve this
(Riff)
The way you stayed of, locked away of
(Riff)
Keeping the flame for yourself
(Riff)
The way you stayed off, pushing' the blame of, reaping the fame for yourself
[Bridge]
F#m7Oh well, it's a, it's aE/F#, dead end. It's a dead end
D7Oh, it's a dead end C7lonely day
F#m7Oh well, it's a, it's aE/F#,It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end thing
D7it's a dead end, a C7lonely day
And it's a lD7ong waC7y, a long way doF#wn
Hey well it's a lD7ong wC7ay, a long way doBm7wn
[Verse 4] - mute the base notes of the verse chords
(Riff)
Change is a coming a baby Don't be startled lady
(Riff)
Every once in a while they do it again
(Riff)
You gonna shake it, shake it, You know you wanna take it
(Riff)
Back to where you once belonged
N.C.
Back beneath the sheets and between the pillow cases
(Riff)
And the snake he races out and he, he tangles into your hair
N.C.
Funny the fruits you choose
N.C.
Oh the time you take, the words you loose
(Riff)
And it all goes back to rotation over the back of your hand
(Riff)
Oh the back of your hand, oh the back of your hand
(Riff)
Oh the map is your hand
(Riff)
It's the back of your hand, the back of your hand
(Riff)
Say the back of your hand, oh the map is your hand, it's the back of your hand
[Verse 5]
(Riff)
Stop whining all the time
(Riff)
Don't you find a little secret to yourself always saved your life
(Riff)
Stop listening to the words that you've heard
(Riff)
No one else but yourself will agree with you more
And it's a lD7ong waC7y, a long way doF#wn
Hey well it's a lD7ong wC7ay, a long way doBm7wn
Hey, and it's a lD7ong waC7y doF#wn
And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down
Hey, hey, hey, and it's a lD7ong, long, lC7ong, long way doF#wn
Say say, [SCATS]
And it's a lD7o- oh- ohC7- ng way doF#wn, hey and it's a lD7ong waC7y dBm7own
(Riff)
It's a dead end
It's a dead end oh
It's a dead end lonely day
(Riff)
It's a, it's a dead end
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end day
It's a dead end oh day
