The binding of time getting stuck in my mind is a boat to row

A                                                                                      Bm

There’s a big city man I used to rumble with him back in high school

Turn you into molten lava oh my

A                                                                                 Bm
A place on the right you can stop for awhile, look out for the policeman

There’s no street lamps, only three buildings and one of them’s vacant

The slow climb, the hard fall

F#m   E         C#m                  D       
Sometime’s I don’t want it at all

F#m                      E            C#m                           D
