  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  Am )

     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
