[A] [Am]
[Em] [F]
[Am] [D] [Am]
[C] [F]
[D] [Am] I am so far away from you, [F] chasing up and [A] down my room,
[D] Jesus only love a [Em] man [Am] who's a turn on the radio
Without [F] some cat and a [D] saxophone
Laying down a lot of damn [Am] excuses
The man that's longing in my baby's eye
She [F] rubs the lamp between her [D] thighs
And hopes that Jeannie comes [Am] out to see him
She lives in some forgotten song
And [F] it moves like she's zombie [D] strong
Gris steady as the pendulum [Am] keeps swinging
[C]
[G] [Am]
You [F] better hold on to [G] yours [Am] dear
[F] While [A] [E] [Am]
cities rust and fall to ruin
[F] Factories close and cars go [D] cruising
[G] And around the borders [Am] of her vision
She says oh oh oh oh
As [F] Jesus makes the flowers [G] grow
All [Dm] around the scene of her [Am] collision
If [C] you knew I would,
[Em] [Bm] yes I would
[Am]
[Em] I [F] would hold on to your [Em] thing
And I would [Am]
hold on to you
[F]
[Am] It's [D] [Am]
in the middle of the night
I [F] try my best to chase [D] outside
The phantoms [G] and the [Am] ghosts and the fairy girls
On a thousand and one nights like this
She [F] mutters open sesame
[D] And any bummer and his forty [Am] thieves
Won't drop the face of the world
[C] When I'll come [D] [A] back
[Am]
And [F] I'll [Am] hold on to your thing
[F]
[D] To [C] your [A] thing
[Am] [F]
[Am] To your thing
And I'll hold [D] on to [Am] your thing
Oh babe I'm a thousand miles away
[F] And I just don't know what to [E] say
Jesus only loves the [Am] man who grows her
But darling we can clearly see
It's all [F] lies and fire and lunacy
[D] And excuses and excuses [Am] and excuses
Well you know if I [C] could I would
I [G] would [Em] lie right [D] down
[Am] And [F] I'd hold on to [C] your thing
[G] Yeah I would lie right down
[Am]
And [F] I would hold on to [C] your thing
