    The Dust Of Retreat

A5           C5 
That's no way to live
      F5             C5          G5
all tangled up like balls of string.
A5         C5
And we woke at dawn
    F5                    C5           G5
and watched the sun glide over the hill.

A5 C5 F5 C5 G5

A5        C5
I just said the first 
       F5                 C5      G5
three words that popped into my head.
A5         C5            F5                      C5                 G5
Let me off the bus; I'm tired and sore and should probably change clothes.

F5                   A5
And the circuits are blown,
            F5 
my woman is cold,
                 C5           G5 
our children are stoned and worthless.
F5               A5                   F5                        C5         G5          ( A5 )
All waiting for you to tell them the truth. The truth is a line, that you'll never use.

A5 C5 F5 C5 G5

A5         C5
And her dignity
F5                      C5           G5 
shown so bright like a light on a hill.
A5           C5
And she burned for me, 
       F5          C5            G5
and no other man came near the flame.
A5             C5            F5                     C5               G5
And back country songs the deafening twang of the rich-white-kid blues
A5        C5
You can own the stage,
         F5                     C5            G5 
but the lights and glares will not make you real.

F5               A5                    F5
She whispers to me, I was meant to be free. 
                     C5        G5
This life that we've built is deadly. 
F5                  A5                           F5
She crawls from my bed, puts a comb 'cross her head,
                   C5         G5             ( A5 )
She crawls to the train and drives herself home

A5 C5 F5 C5 G5
