from A Ghost Is Born


Basic pattern is DGF,DGC, repeat.

Intro: D - G - F - D - G - C

D
I was chewing gum for something to do
      G                       F
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
  D
Inside out of love, what a laugh
                   G        C
I was looking for you


        D
The saxophones started blowing me down
        G
I was buried in sound
     F                          D
And taxi cabs were driving me around
          G                C
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

D
...
          G                F
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown



They were translating poorly
I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night

It's ok for you to say what you want from me
I believe that's the only way for me to be
Exactly what you want me to be
