From "Black Sheep Boy"
chords by Shimon (simonhochbergmusic@gmail.com )


G5                                       
Once we get to the end 
     C5
of this song,
        E5             D5
then it will begin again.
   G5                                                             
So you said, in our bed
               C5 
I was watching light slip
        E5                 D5
through the blinds to find your skin.


        G5          F5
So take your medicine,
            C5
and I won't ask where you've been.
         G5           F5
Live your lost weekend.
              C5
I know you've wanted it.
A5          D5
Get big, little kid.


G5
And I can't say why each day
        C5             E5
doesn't quite fit the space
          D5
we saved for it.
            G5
But if that space now demands
         C5                 E5
that you throw up both your hands,
              D5
that you call it quits...


          G5         F5
Take your midnight trip
               C5
I know you've dreamed of it.
          G5      F5
Walk your sunset strip,
                       C5
because I think you've needed it


A5           D5
to get big, little kid.
              C5         G5
But just remember that our love
      A5
only got this good
E5               A5
because of some younger days
        C5              D5
that you like to outstrip.
      C5
So drink your cup down
G5
to the dregs and leave
           E5
that club on shaking legs
      A5
with another guy,
         C5            D5
but just remember: I'm not him.

Take your medicine and I won't ask

where you've been.
          G5         F5
Live your lost weekend,
               C5
because I know you've wanted it
A5            D5
to get big, little kid.


            G5                       C5

      E5            D5
then another will begin.
