[Intro]
C G Am C G Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am
So you've gone astray in a New York minute
C G Am
Nothing left to say or ways to spin it
C G Am
You've just gone too far, unsafe within it
C G Am
All spun out and swept away
[Verse 2]
C G Am
You were here one day, gone by sunset
C G Am
You set out that way, lest, we soon forget
C G Am C G Am
Blood on the sawdust, light coming in from a broken window pane
[Chorus]
Em D
I shake and pine
C G Am G
You didn't really mean to do me wrong this time
C G Em D
Make it up as we go along to fake and find
C G Em D C
A reason and a rhyme, the strength to carry on
[Interlude]
C G Am C G Am
[Verse 3]
C G Am
Seems the more you know the less you like it
C G Am
Til you ache to go and strikе out on your own
C G Am
Movement becomеs you until you become
C G Am
So removed by the hands you show
[Verse 4]
C G
Seems the more I know
Am C G
The less I have the answers to these things I sow
Am C G
That eat me like a cancer till there's nothing left
Am C G Am
For you to grab ahold of til I spiral out of control
[Chorus]
Em D
You shake and pine
C G Am G
For a way out of this hell besides a life of crime
C G Em D
Standing before judgment, it'd be so sublime
C G Em D C
To step out of your shadow and walk towards the sun
[Bridge]
C G
We shake and pine
Em D C G
Look inside for an answer to this nursery rhyme
Em D C G C G
Like a ballet dancer, we leap in the air, lost in the footlights
C G Em D
Lost in the footlights and the fog
C G Em D C
Lost in the footlights and the fog
[Interlude]
C G Em D C G
Em D C G C G
Em D C
C G Am C G Am Em
[Outro]
C G D Em C G
Got the hang, all your missing, Alabama claw
D Em C G
Above the bangs and lashes and we saw it all
D Em D C
Reaching for the stars but only catching dust
