Tom: F
F F/C C
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____
Bbadd9 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___,
Bbadd9 F
I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
Bb F ::
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive, ::
::
Bb F ::
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes, ::
::
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. ::
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 Bbadd9 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? ::
::
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, ::
C F
Or would you take me home?
( Am F Am C Bb Dm Gm7 C F )

Am F ::
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, ::
G C Bbadd9 F
I never had the nerve to make the final cut
