[Intro]
G Am (Em G) (Em Am) (Em G)
[Verse 1]
G Am Em G
I----- am the dotted line
C Am Em G
And you fill me in with whatever you like
C Am Em G
I’m---- just going through the motions
G Am Em G
I---- need an old fashioned potion
F
There's gotta be some old recipe
G
Cause I gotta get drunk
G G7
I gotta forget about some things
[Verse 2]
C Am Em G
I---- lived in lies all my life
Am Em G
And I've been living here for a long, long time
G Am Em G
And I know it's been coming down a while now
Am Em G
When it shows, then you get me on the dial
F
But right now you're half way around the world
G G7
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will
[Verse 3]
C Am Em G
I'm still hanging round and round
Am Em G
Sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
Am Em G
In the bowels of history and time
Am Em G
I have learned to stay back and never shine
F
Now I feel stupid when I smile
G G7
For not a journey, a circus are our lives
[Interlude]
(C Am) Em G Em G (Em Am)
[Verse 4]
G Am Em G
I can't make up for everything I waste
Am Em G
And I know that I could never afford a taste
C Am Em G
Of anything that your lovely hands make
Am Em G
It eats away with a force so great
F
Just because it brings a smile to my face
G G7
Such a bad memory, you just can't erase
[Verse 5]
C Am Em G
I know of a city to steal from
Am Em G
And I know of a city to cheat on
C Am Em G
And I know of a city of sin
Am Em G
And that's the place I wanna meet you in
F
And say hello all over again
G
Romance me, take it back to the beginning
[Outro]
