The Late Show – Jackson Browne (Album: Late for the Sky) ------------------------------ G C Everyone I've ever known has wished me well G C Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell G D C Maybe people only ask you how you're doing G D Ebdim Em G 'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care C C#dim G/D B7 Em But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere Am D Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear G C Now to see things clear it's hard enough I know G C While you're waiting for reality to show G D Without dreaming of the perfect love C G And holding it so far above D Ebdim Em G That if you stumbled onto someone real, you'd never know C (You'd never know) G You could be with somebody who is lonely too C (Sometimes it doesn't show) G He might be trying to get across to you C (Words can be so slow) C#dim G/D B7/Eb Em When your own emptiness is all that's getting through Am D There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking G I passed that point long ago G7 C (Long ago) G Now I'm so tired of all this circling D Ebdim Em And all these glimpses of the end G (You know it's useless to pretend) C That's all the voices say: G D/F# Em "You'll go right on circling Am D Until you've found some kind of friend" G C I saw you through the laughter and the noise G C You were talking with the soldiers and the boys G D While they scuffled for your weary smiles C G I thought of all the empty miles D Ebdim Em And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes G C (Looking for your eyes) G And now I'm sitting here wondering what to say C (That you might recognize) G Afraid that all these words might scare you away C (And break through the disguise) C#dim D B7/Eb Em No one ever talks about their feelings anyway Am Without dressing them in dreams and laughter D G G7 I guess it's just too painful otherwise Solo: |C |G |D Ebdim |Em G | |C |G D/F# Em |Am |D | Look... Ebdim It's like you're standing in the window Em G Of a house nobody lives in C D And I'm sitting in a car across the way C (Let's just say) G It's an early model Chevrolet C (Let's just say) G D/F# It's a warm and windy day Em Em/Eb You go and pack your sorrow G/D A7/C# The trash man comes tomorrow C D G Leave it at the curb and we'll just roll away Coda: |C |G |C |G | |C |G |C |G (car door) | |C |G (car door) |C D |Em Em/Eb | |G/D A7/C# |C D |G || Tabbed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam, Netherlands) – may 2007 email: gerardkoot@hotmail.com
