Jimmy
    G7           Gm7
His secret's out
    C7               Cm7                  Gm           F
The one he locked inside and denied every word about
     C7         Cm7
He's guilty         
       G7          Gm7                           
So his story claims 
C7              Cm7             Gm             F  
Twisting in his seat he repeats alone his name

             Bb
Counting his words
   D              Gm
Between his every line
          Bb7/Ab             Db6/9        Bb5/Eb
Searching miles and miles to define
             Ebsus4/Db  Eb/Db  Ebsus4/Db   Eb7 
Just what it all means

Jimmy
As quiet as a church mouse
Painted every graphic scene but with few details
His accomplice had made sure of this
When she sealed it with a bedspring kiss
And when his time had come to go
Jimmy washed all of the blood stains from her clothes

But with a needle is his vein
It became too hard to explain
Just what it all means

Counting the words between his every line
Searching mile and miles to define
Just what it all means

interlude (I'm really VERY "iffy" on these chords)
Cm   F#/G#  Gm9   F#dim?  F  Bm9  F/G  C#m  
then bass | G /  | F / | E Eb D B | C# B G# C# |
(instrumental to chords from verse)

             Bb
Counting his words
   D              Gm
Between his every line
          Bb7/Ab             Db6/9        Bb5/Eb
Searching miles and miles to define
             Ebsus4/Db  Eb/Db  Ebsus4/Db   Eb7 
Just what it all means


Killing his time
A monkey in his vein
He knew he could not explain
Just what it all means
Just what it all means
