_ Back in the old folky [F] days, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ the air was [Em] magic [D] when we played.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
The riverboat was rocking in [F] the rain.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Midnight was the [E] time [D] for the rain.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Oh, _ Isabella, _ _ _ proud _ Isabella, _ _ [Am] _
they tore you down _ and plowed you [A] under.
_ [Bm] _
You're only _ real if [C] you make a bond.
_ _ [G] _
How could I see you _ _ [D] _
and stay too long?
_ [C]
All along the _ Navajo [F] Trail, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
burnouts dug their [E] toes on garbage [D]
bales.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Waitresses are crying in the [F]
rain.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
Will the _ [Em] boyfriends pass this way [D]
again?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Oh, Mother Goose, _ _ _ she's on the [G] skids.
_ _ [Am]
The shoe ain't happy, _ _ _ neither are the _ kids.
[Bm] _ _
She needs someone _ _ [C] that she can scream at.
[G] _ _
And I'm such a heel _ [D]
for making her feel so [C] bad. _
I guess I'll call it sickness [F] gone.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
It's hard to [Em] say the meaning of this [D] song.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] An ambulance can only go so [F] fast.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] It's easy to [Em] get buried _ [D] in the past _ _ _ _ _ [C] when you try to make a good thing last.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _

_ _ _ _ I _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
saw today _ in the entertainment section,
_ _ [Am] _ _
there's room at the top for _ _ private detection.
[Am] _ _ _ [Bm] _
To mom and dad, _ _ [C]
it just doesn't matter.
_ _ [G] _
But he screwed around, _ _ [D]
and now he won't even look at her.
_ _ [C] _
So all you critics, stand [F] alone.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
You're [Am] no better [Em] than him for what [D] you've shown.
_ With _ _ _ _ [C] _
your stomach pump and your hook-and-ladder [F] _
dreams,
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
we could get [Em] together for [D] some scenes.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
Well, I'm up in T.O., _ _ keeping jive _ alive.
_ [Am] _
_ Out on the corner, _ _ _ it's half past five.
_ _ [Bm] _
And the subways are empty, _ _ [C] _
and so are the cafes.
_ [G] _ _
Except for the farmer's market, _ [D] _
and I still can hear him say,
[C] _
_ you're all just _ pissing in [F] the wind.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Am] You [E] don't know it, but [D] you are.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
And there ain't nothing like [F] a friend
who _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
[Am] can tell you when [Em] you're pissing [D] in the wind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I never knew a man _ could _ tell so many lies.
_ [Am]
He had a different story for _ _ every set of eyes.
_ [Bm] _
How can he remember _ _ [C]
who he's talking to?
_ [G] _
Cause I know it ain't me, _ _ [D]
and I hope it isn't _ you.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
