In [Em] 1984, [F] I was hospitalized for [C] approaching perfection.
Slowly [Em] screwing my way across [F] Europe,
they had [C] to make a correction.
[Em] Broken and smoking where [F] the infrared deer
plunged in [C] the digital snake.
I [Em] tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands.
When [C] they make your hands shake.
[Em] I know you like to line [G] dance.
[Em] Everything so democratic and cool.
But baby, there's no [C] guidance when random rules.
I [Em] know that I [F] say it's been lifted off [C] a men's room wall.
[Em] Maybe I've crossed the wrong [F] rivers and walked down
all [C] the wrong halls.
[Em] But nothing can change the [F] fact that we used to [C] share a bed.
[Em] And that's why it scared me [F] so when you turned to [C] me and said,
[D] [F] yeah, you look like someone.
[Dm] [F] Yeah, you look like someone who up and left me low.
Boy, you look like [C] someone I used to know.
[Em] [F] [A] [C]
[Em] [F] [C]
[Em] [F] [C]
[Em] [C]
[Dm] I [F] know you like to line [Dm] dance.
[F] Everything so democratic and cool.
But baby, there's no [C] guidance when random rules.
I [Em] asked the painter [F] why the roads are [C] colored black.
He said, [Em] Steve, it's because people [F] leaving no highway
will bring [C] them back.
So if [Em] you don't want me, [F] I promise not [C] to linger.
But before [Em] I go, I've got to ask you, dear, [F] about that tan line
on [C] your ring finger.
[D]
No one [F] should have two lives.
[Dm] Now you [F] know my middle name's a wrong [D] and right.
Honey, [F] we've got two lives [C] to give tonight.
To [Em] give tonight.
To [F] give tonight.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, [C] oh.
Slowly [Em] screwing my way across [F] Europe,
they had [C] to make a correction.
[Em] Broken and smoking where [F] the infrared deer
plunged in [C] the digital snake.
