[G] [Gm] You're everybody's second [Am] home Always trying to keep me [Bb] alone
An easy way [C] to lose
[Eb] it all Always selling all those
[G] fails
Over by the Westside [C] rails But [Eb]
[F] [G]
[Gm] I don't really need that [Am] now
I never really did anyhow [F] [Bb]
I only really [C] needed alcohol
[Eb]
Something that'll treat me [Gm] okay And put me to sleep when you [C] say
[Eb] Please [Ebm]
turn out [D] the light I got [C] a sick confusion headache
Trying to figure [F] out [Gm] who's right Dreaming on the silver [Am] strand
Waking up your plainclothes [Bb] man You little bastard, little [C]
boy [Eb] in blue
Someone's gonna get to [Gm] you And fuck up everything you [C] do
[Eb]
[Gm] Some European [A] son [Cm] Experiencing this with everyone
[Bb] That feeds him when you give [C] his angry [Eb] kiss Acting like he has no [Gm] needs
Wanting you to watch him [C] bleed
[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] Made [F] for each other, [Eb] let you hang with [Bb] me Mind just [F] goes to show
[C] I can change the whole world [Eb] to fly
[Bb] Say that [F] I'll recover
[Eb] My heart's off the road [Bb] once in a while But I don't [A] know, I don't [D] think so
There's [Gm] something that I'll tell you [A] now Now [C] that no one else is [Bb] around
The sort of lesson that I [C] learned [Eb] from you Not quite the way you [G] planned
But I know you'll [C] understand
[Eb] Someone
[Gm] takes a photograph [Am] [Gm] I bet you all [Am] the [Bb] sweetheart laughs
A perfect moment in [C] a [Eb] flash of light Got him back to be the [Gm] one
That's exactly what you've [C] done [Eb] And [Ebm] I'm so [D] surprised
I [C] remember, I remember Why I dream in black [Bb] and
[F] white
[Eb]
[Bb] Goes [F] to show I [C] can take the whole [Eb] world to fly
[Bb] Say that [F] I'll recover My [Eb] love's off the road once [Bb] in a while
But I don't [A] know, I don't [D] think so I don't [Gm] think so
[C]
[Eb] [C] [Gm]
