Know a man... His face SEEMED pulled and tense
F C F C F C Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds
F C F C
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax
F C G F
But he's always moving much too fast
[Intro]
Said he'll see me on the flipside
Of this trip he's taken for a ride
F C F C F C
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
F C G Am F C
With his perfectly un--kept clothes... there he goes

F C F C
He's yet to come back... but I see his picture
F C F C Am F C
He doesn't look the same upon the rack... we go way back
[Intro]
I wonder 'bout his insides... it's like his thoughts are too big for his size
F C F C F C
He's been taken... Where? I don't know... off he goes
F C G Am F C
With his perfectly un--kept hope... there he goes
F C F C
And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned
F C F C G Am
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
F C F C
For he still smiles... and he's still STRONG
F C F C G Am
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown
F C F C
And now he's home and we're laughing
F C F C G Am
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend
F C F C
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in
F C F C G Am
He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen next
F C F C
Before his first step... he is off again
