Intro: B, D, A, E/D

B (x2444x@1)           DShe (xx0232@1)speaks in metaphors
A (x02220@1)                  EClever (022100@1)wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking
B (x2444x@1)          DI (xx0232@1)heard her say before
A (x02220@1)                              EThat (022100@1)if you were a boat then you might as well be sinking

B (x2444x@1)           DAnd (xx0232@1)that the crows outside
A (x02220@1)                   EComing (022100@1)down fast, oh, as they call your name
B (x2444x@1)        DI (xx0232@1)said I'm out the door
A (x02220@1)                    EIf (022100@1)you had some sense, you would do the same

B (x2444x@1)          A (x02220@1)        DShe's (xx0232@1)got me working my mind
F# (244322@1)                 E/F#And (222100@1)I don't decipher code
B (x2444x@1)          A (x02220@1)      DIt's (xx0232@1)time to go for a drive
F# (244322@1)            E/F#A (222100@1)long way from home

B (x2444x@1)                   DNo, (xx0232@1)it wouldn't be the first time
A (x02220@1)                         E/DShe's (020100@1)got me on the killing floor

The rest of the song follows the same patterns.

She speaks in lullabies
She said "rock-a-by baby i'll see you in the morning"
And then I waved goodbye
Never saw her again but that's just how it's been

I know she'll be back soon
She's like the setting sun, she'll rise again one day
And then the sky turned gray
If I had some sense, I would fall away

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

No it wouldn't be the first time
She's got me on the killing floor

She speaks in metaphors
Clever wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking
I heard her say before
If you were a boat then you might as well me sinking

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

No it wouldn't be the first time
She's got me on the killing floor
