_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
I put on [B] my clothes like a _ _ bodyguard, I put the dogs on patrol in my home backyard.
_ I don't wanna fight, but I'm constantly ready and I don't rock [E] the boat.
But it's always _ unsteady, there's an elephant in my head.
And I [D#] tiptoe around it, there are [G#m] eggshells on the floor, therefore I [C#m] never touch the ground.
It's like [E] that old black hole, [F#] no matter how you try, you set out each day, never to arrive.
I got [G#m] my eyes on the prize, but it [B] looks just like a mystery.
And it [E] all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory.
I'm [G#m] drawing the blinds, I got my [B]
own four walls, man the [C#m] show will be [E] stopped once the curtain [C] falls.
Take [E] this thorn from my side, fix this chip on my shoulder.
Time is racing with the [G#] clock and I ain't getting any [C#m] older.
It's like [E] that old black hole, [F#] no matter how you try, it's like that [E] old black hole.
_ [F#] No matter how you try, it's like that [E] old black hole.
No [F#] matter how you try, you set out each day, never to arrive. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [B] I put on my finest thread and I wrap up my body tight _ with the sun in [E] my _ eyes.
I step into the [B] night like the [F#] mystery in the dark.
Oh it's [C] just another kind of [G#] life.
I don't [B] expect you to believe me but everything is alright.
_ _ _ I don't make rules for a living, I don't do tricks for a dime.
_ _ I want [E] a good day.
_ I'm deaf, dumb and [B] blind, who am [F#] I to tell the truth?
Oh [G#] I don't even know what it [B] is.
Well I don't want to say it but I know that I can show you.
I _ said I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. _
I tie my boots up tight and I head straight for bed.
[E] There's a pistol and a crystal _ underneath my pillow.
There's [B] a tender heart inside that ugly _ armadillo.
[E] These are tears of joy, pride, the [F#] weak and willow.
[E] There's a spirit in the air.
[F#] There ain't no way around it.
I [B] was not prepared to lose it all [E] the moment that I found it.
It's like that old black hole.
[F#] No matter how you try.
It's like [E] that old black hole.
[F#] No matter how you try.
It's [E] like that old black hole.
[F#]
No matter how you try.
You set out each day.
You never turn around.
