[E] Bringing me down
[F#m] I'm running [A] aground
[D] Blinding the [A] light
of the [E] interstate cars
Passing me by
[F#m] The buses and subways
[D] Plunging [A] like stones
[E] from the street shot on Mars
[A] Well [Bm] I'm here [A] by the road
[D] [A] Bound [Bm] to the [A] low
[Bm] I picked up in ten thousand
[E] cafes and [A] bars
[E] [D] Well [A] [D] [A] over the rush of the [D] drivers
that [A] won't pick me [Bm] up
The [Bm] [D] highway, the [E] moon,
the clouds and the stars
The [D] black dotted [C#] wind
[A] keeps on blaring it
With its words of a lie
[Em] when [Am] nothing is [C] new

[D] [C] [E] In Alice in Louis
City [A] of blues
In [D] [A] the midst of a storm
I'd most rather [E] forget
Try to pretend
it came [F#m] to an end
Cause [D] you weren't [A] the woman
I once [E] thought I'd met
But [A] I can't deny
[D]
[A] times [Bm] have gone [A] by
[D] I never had doubts
or [E] thoughts of regret
And [A] I was a man
[D] when all this began
[A] [Bm] Who [D] wouldn't think twice
about being [E] there yet
The [D] black dotted wind
[C#]
[A] whispering sin
Speaking of [Em] life
that passes like [C] dew
It's [A] [D] forced [C#m] me to see
[Em] You're done better [A] by me

You [D] [A] carry a pen
wherever [E] you go
Full of blues
[F#m] trying to lose
Well [D] you [A] ain't gonna learn
what you don't wanna [E] know
[A] So I [B] gave you my [A] eyes
[D] Yes they [A] were just a [D] [F#m] disguise
[Bm] Well I'm looking
as well [E] as you see
And [A] [B] catch [A] your glance
[D] Oh [A] and make it [Bm] dance
[A] Make it [Bm] dance
[D] I'm looking at you
Looking [E] at me
The [A] [D] black dotted wind
