[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]
D7                          C7                      D7                 C7
The smoke will find you a choker that matches your coat, not fit to be tied
D7                          C7                      D7                 C7
The mirror it makes it all clearer as you stand alone and can't see your 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#m7                   E/F#
Oh well, it's a, it's a, dead end. It's a dead end
D7                 C7
Oh, it's a dead end lonely day
F#m7                   E/F#
Oh well, it's a, it's a,It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end thing
D7                 C7
it's a dead end, a lonely day
            D7    C7              F#
And it's a long way, a long way down
                 D7   C7               Bm7
Hey well it's a long way, a long way down
[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
            D7    C7              F#
And it's a long way, a long way down
                 D7   C7               Bm7
Hey well it's a long way, a long way down
                 D7    C7  F#
Hey, and it's a long way down
And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down
                           D7          C7              F#
Hey, hey, hey, and it's a long, long, long, long way down
Say say, [SCATS]
            D7       C7         F#                  D7    C7 Bm7
And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down, hey and it's a long way down
(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
