capo: 2 fret
C5
Oh when the summer sun come cutting
Like a clean razor blade
F5
And I wake to the day and all the visions I've made
C5
Reached out my hand for the curl of her hair
F5
And whisper my dreams to the girl who's not there
G5
Gather some memory from the night before
C5 G5 F5
Where'd she go? she go, where'd she go?
G5
Screaming of threats and slam of a door
C5 G5 F5
Well I don't know, don't know, don't know
C5
So I look to the window and the city below
F5
From this bed of mine
Where I eat sweet jelly rolls
C5
Think I'll put on my face
I'd like to fix me a drink
F5
'Cause somewhere someone knows just what I think
G5
Last night's but a question that hangs likes a noose
C5 G5 F5
'Round my throat, my throat
G5
Surely tonight, I'll invite its abuse
C5 G5 F5
Well there's no hope, no hope, no hope
C5
Goodness me, oh my
F5
Oh my god, I still might be fine
G5
Get through all the pains I fake
F5
Poor boy could use a break
C5
A break from my own daily hate, oh
F5
"Pain is something no one else knows"
G5
That's what I hear them say
F5
But everyone bereaves the day
G5 C5 F5
I said weary weary walk away
C5
So I take to the streets like the dead to the grave
F5
You light me a smoke because it's right to behave
C5
And I'm all juiced up all morning because the morning is when
F5
Heros stand tall in the statues of men
G5
And all the pigeons adore me and peck at my feet
C5 G5 F5
Oh the fame, the fame, the fame
G5
Someday they may use my head as a seat
C5 G5 F5
Well I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait
C5
Goodness me, oh my
F5
Oh my god, I still might get by
G5
Get through all the pains I fake
F5
Poor boy could use a break
C5
A break from my own daily hate, oh
F5
"Pain is something no one else knows"
G5
That's what I hear them say
F5
But everyone bereaves the day
G5 C5 F5
I said weary weary walk away
C5 G5
When I die alone bury me deep
C5
Way out west past Sunset Street
C5 F5 C5 G5 C5
So I can hear old 29 when she goes rollin' by
C5 G5
And when they come to claim my skin
C5
And I go back where I begin
C5 F5
Place the stones at my head and feet
C5 G5 C5
Tell them all I've gone to sleep
C5
And as the city unravels her metal bedroll
F5 C5
I dirty her sheets with the stumble I stroll
And the people all stop just to watch me go by
F5
With a thirst in my throat and a tear in my eye
C5 G5 F5
So riddle me this while I lend you my soul in a song, in a song, a song
G5
And balance the sky on these shoulders of mine
C5 G5 F5
Until the dawn, the dawn, the dawn
C5
Goodness me, oh my
F5
Oh my god, I still might get by
G5
Get through all the pains I fake
F5
Poor boy could use a break
C5
A break from my own daily hate, oh
F5
"Pain is something no one else knows"
G5
That's what I hear them say
F5
But everyone bereaves the day
G5 C5 F5 G5 C5
I said weary weary walk away
