_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _
[D] beneath the bedclothes
I _ thought my mouth [A] was almost time to [D] get out
I [A] _ [E] got _ [C] _
_ [E] _ one hand [N] on the radio
one hand on the wheel
I got my life on the floorboard
[G]
[E] and it all continues
[D] Well I [F#m] went going
[D] and the stars are shining [F#m] bright
[D] the rain upon [F#m] the tarmac
[D] I set off blue traffic [F#m] lights
I'm making dials through the dark [F#m] highway
to [D] feel the power [F#m] of the moon
[D] I'm going to move up close [F#m] to the moon
[D] I see a big [F#m] bus
I'll let you know [C] when it's through
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] Twinklin' [C#] heart
Lucy [F#] and I know that boy
is [A] something better than the beef
[F#] I was just another [A] western guy
with a desire to be
[C#m] satisfied [F#] one day
as he [G#] chose for inspiration
the dimple on [F#m] his ring
_ _ _ [C#] _ [F#] Listen to [C#] that
Yes
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ He said, look girl, [F#m] I'd like to
[D] feel like I see you on [F#m] the sand
[E] He said, signing [F#m] confessions
[D] from the shaking [F#m] hand
[D] He said, struggling to hang [F#m] on to hope
[D] I like a good concealer
and a good boat with a bottle and pocket
[F#m] I'm in the [D] cold like I've been by [F#m] the last
of the [Am] boat _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You see, it took me [C#m] into temptation
[F#] some object of interlaced [D#] confrontation
[F#] I never said I was the [D#] man I appeared to be
[F#] but the flesh that had the [C#m] bones of [F#] necessity
I'm the spirit of the soul of [A] fire
[F#] swimming long for [C#] fire
in [A] my bones
The heavenly Lucy fish
running off to [F#] Burgatay
with his towel between his legs
[D] I'm gonna teach him a lesson
he ain't never gonna forget
[A] All the vultures and crows
are fixing up some [F#] tombstones
They won't be chewing the meat [D] off my
The chisel high [F#m] wind blowing
[D] and the stars are shining [F#m] bright
[D] You're even gonna have [F#m] a little
mountain [D] fire in the fog
if you [F#m] need to see the skyline
[D] All this flim flaming sirens
[F#m] of double [D] D
stop the hearts [F#m] of some quick [Am] rest

_ [Gm] _ [G] You're always gonna be resting
now that you've found a skin [E] in peace
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] But _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ [D] now, this is gonna [Am] be
the world you [Bm] sleep without [E] me
What a [D] night this is gonna [Am] be
the world you [D] sleep without me
