[G] Everyone I've ever known has [C] wished me well .
[G] Anyway that's how it seems, [C] it's hard to tell .
[G] Maybe people [D] only ask you [C] how you're doing.
[G] Cause that's easier [D] than letting on [A] how little [Em] they could care.
[Dm].
[Bm] But [C] [Db] when you know that you've [G] got a [Bm] real friend [Em].
somewhere.
[Am] Suddenly all the others are [D] so much easier to bear.
[G] Now to see things clear it's hard [C] enough I know.
While [G] you're waiting for reality [C] to show.
Without [G] dreaming [D] of the perfect [C] love.
And [G] holding it so far [D] above.
If you stumbled [A] onto someone real [Em] you'd never know.
[G] .
[B] [C] You'd never know.
You could be [G] with somebody who is lonely too.
Sometimes it [C] doesn't show.
He might be [G] trying to get across to you.
[C] Words can be so slow.
[Db] When in all [G] emptiness is all [Em] that's getting through.
There comes [Am] a point when you're not sure why you're still [D] talking.
I [G] passed that point long ago Long ago.
[C] I'm so tired [G] of all this [D] circling.
And [Eb] all these [Em] glimpses of the end.
[B] You know it's useless [C] to pretend.
That's all the voices [G] say.
[D] You'll [Em] go right on [Am] circling.
Till you've found [D] some kind of a friend.
[G] Well I saw you through the laughter [C] of the noise.
[G] You were talking with the [C] soldiers at the borders.
[G] While this [D] ruffles through your weary [C] smiles.
I thought of [G] all the empty [D] lines.
And the [A] years that I spent looking for [Em] your eyes.
[Am] Looking [C] for your eyes.
Now I'm sitting [G] here wondering what to say.
[Dm] That you [C] might recognize.
Afraid that all these [G] words might scare you away.
Break [C] through the disguise.
No [Db] one ever talks [G] about their [Eb] feelings [Em].
anyway.
[Am] Without dressing them in dreams and [D] laughter.
I guess it's [G] just too painful otherwise .
[Dm] [C] [G] .
[D] [Eb] [Em] [G] .
[Dm] [C] It's [G] [Bm] [Em] .
[Am] [D] .
[A] like you're standing in the [Eb] [Em] window.
Of a house [G] nobody lives [B] in.
[C] And I'm sitting in a car across the [D] way .
[C] Let's just say.
Early model [G] Chevrolet .
[C] Let's just say.
[G] Morning windy day.

Crash man [Db] comes tomorrow.

And we'll just go away.
