F F/C C Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____ Bb add9 F I can barely define the shape of this moment in time. F F/C C And far from flying high in clear blue skies___, Bb add9 F I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
Bb F Accoustic guitar If you negotiate the minefield in the drive, begins here.
Bb F Listen to record And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes, for strumming rhytm.
Bb C Dm And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Gm7 Dial the combination, open the priesthole
C F And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall. Stop here. Am F There's a kid who had a big hallucination Am C Making love to girls in magazines. Bb Dm He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith. Gm7 Could anybody love him /C F F/C C Bb add9 F Or is it just a crazy dream___? F C And if I show you my dark side Bb F Will you still hold me tonight? F C And if I open my heart to you Bb And show you my weak side, F What would you do? Bb F Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? Start again here.
Bb Would you take the children away
F And leave me alone?
Bb C And smile in reassurance
Dm As you whisper down the phone,
Gm7 Would you send me packing, Stop here.
/C F Or would you take me home?
Am F Am C Bb Dm Gm7 /C F

Am F Start here. Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings, Am C Thought I oughta tear the curtain down. Bb I held the blade in trembling hands, Dm Gm7 Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang, Stop here. G C Bb add9 F I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
