Back baby, [Dm]
come back [Em] to me, yeah
[Dm]
And you [Em] will see
[Bb] I didn't mean to hurt you
[Eb] You know, [F] it's just my way
[Ebm] When the ruins are screaming
[F] And the evening is still
[Bbm] Lady [Db] Samantha
[Fm] glides over the [G] day
Yes [C] it's me, yes it's me, yes it's [Bm] me, yes it's me, [Am] Geneva
[A] Not a rat to be found
[E] Locked up in this room
[E]
[D] Those bars look [A] towards the sun [Em] at [Eb] night
It's a little [Ab] bit funny
[Bb] This feeling [Gm] inside
[Cm] I'm not [Eb] one of those who [A] can easily [Ab] hide
[Bb] I laid his broken [G] body down
[Cm] Below the southern [Ab] line
[Db] It wouldn't do to bury [C] him
[Ab] Where any Yankees [D] stand
With [C] the criticize
[A] behind the back
[Bb] Maybe I should [C] let [F] them through
Grass [Am] blowing up the [Dm] past
Don't you know I'm [F] feeling mellow
[B] Oh I love [Dm] the
[F] Romanos
[Ab] White walls of your dress
New [Db] Mars, Spain and Scarlet Red
The [Ab] blood upon the coast
Don't lie [Eb] to young [Fm] man
What will [Db] play the rat in [Eb] surprise
[Db] [C] Sending us just a four letter word
[Ebm] I see movements [Ab] and a clearing
[Gb] Someone sent you [Db] something
[C] Since I was a young boy I played the scuba ball
[Bb] From show up down to Brighton
I must have played them all
[Ab] But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement [Bbm] hall
I would have walked on into [Ab] the deep end of a river
[Cm] Clinging to your socks and bar
Paying your [Db] eight feet in mines [Bb] forever
What will I tell me of freedom [Eb] Shining me
[Bb] I'm looking [Ab] for arrows [F] of yellow [Bb] and green
[Eb]
[Gm] Towering [Fm] over your head
And I feel [Bb] like a bullet in the gun [Eb] I'm a rebel
[C] [Db] I never was a paid [Eb] assassinist
Yeah now [Ab] I'm cold as
[Gm] ice
What do I do to make you [Cm] want me
[F]
What have I gotta do to be [D] heard
Sing [A] [D]
a [Dbm] song [Gbm] to yourself
[Gb]
While [F] those [Bb] scars on your eyes
And you [Bbm] get [Eb] quite a surprise
[Db] Because you [Ebm] see [Gb] [Bbm] everybody [Ebm] You lied
[Bb] This was a game
[Gb] You were just playing
[C] And now I'm losing you
[Bb] Oh little genie
You got so [Am] much [Gm] love
Little [Bm] genie
Staring all alone
[B]
At your grace and [G] style
[Bm] Cut me to [B] the bone
[C] With your razor [Gm] blitz
My deep [Eb] blue steel
[Bb] On a blue, blue [F]
day
[Bb] You think the smoke will never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste [Cm] of love and a simple [F] way
And you [G] need to know I'll [C] understand it
We all need to hear the [F] radio
Cars from [G] the lift stop, some old singer
We share the [C] doubles, we are ready
Anything [G] about my home
[C] You [G] never know how good it feels to [D] hold you
I pray each day
[E] That you are [E] gone
[B] You'll find a [A] new head
Music from the [D] chopper to the coda
[A] [D] [G] [Gb]
[B] Sympathetic, reluctant
[G] You'll find a darkest [Gb] chest
It's a human
[Db] sign
[Gb] When things go [Ebm] wrong
[Ab] When the sand in her language
[F] Out the front door
To the [B] center of the [C] street
[Dm] Scream out your name, let's be dead
[Bb]
Swings around my [Db] feet
You came [Bbm] to lift [Bb] me up
As [Gb] light as straw
And brittle as a [Fm] bird
Understand and [G] learn
That you and [C] I
[Bb] Is [Eb] where [C] we [F] are
[Eb] It's [Bb] enough
For this [Gm] wide-eyed [Eb] wanderer
[Cm] That we [Eb] got this [F] far
Sit down, [C] I'll play ground
[Gm] Crying God [Am] sent [G] me
Brother, [Dm] not a [Am] word of nose
[Bb] Rock [G] and [Ebm] roll
Think that I can stand it
[Db] After all these rough seas
[Ab] Left me reckless and abandoned
[Gb] Say the [E] spirit's there
[Am] You think of me
I speak [C] of me
[F] Oh, one do I befell
The [D] someone you once loved
So long ago
[F] Scared someday [Bb] soon
Here [Eb]
comes the night
[Cm] Here come [Gm] the memories
[Ab] Used to be the main express
[F] All steam and whistles, heaven waits
[Bbm]
Picking out my pain
From door [Bb] to door
And [Gm] this weakness
Is so [Cm]
beautiful sometimes
[F] Across the [Dm] universe
With [Gb] like every one of us
That ever [Gbm] came to play
Has [Eb] to cross the bridge
[Ab] Or fade away
[D] Here for the glory
And pain that you might find
In a [A] world that really's so unkind
On the back [Dm] road
And throwing up the [Gm] favorite nations
In [Dm] their decline
[C] And all around me
I've seen times
come back [Em] to me, yeah
[Dm]
And you [Em] will see
[Bb] I didn't mean to hurt you
[Eb] You know, [F] it's just my way
[Ebm] When the ruins are screaming
