E If I ever get out of these shoes BE And I shrug off a skin or two I'll come looking in all the wasted places BE Beat-up, last ditch rendezvous
AE If it had been some other place, some other time to find me AE If I had been in my right mind not looking for ghosts behind me BA Then I'd hold you with my fingers burning BA Kiss your little tears of yearning BA But sometimes there's no turning E Take care the road you choose
If I ever get out of my mind Guillotine myself to stop me dreaming And let my heart go where it will Without those other voices screaming
Some take the high, some take the low, some take the straight and narrow Some still standing at the crossroads, some fly like an arrow With my radar I'll find you, darling No regrets to blind you, darling And never look behind Take care the road you choose
