Em
[Verse 1]
Em G I put on my clothes like a body guard Am C I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard Em G I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready Am C And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady
[Pre-Chorus 1] (Electric gtr starts picking arpeggios up)
C There's an elephant in my head Bm And I tip toe around it Em There are eggshells on the floor Am Therefore I never touch the ground
[Chorus 1] (strumming)
C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. D D7 You set out each day, never to arrive
[Verse 2] (arpeggio up and down)
Em I got my eyes on the prize G But it looks just like a mystery Am C And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory Em G I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls Am C Man, the show really starts once the curtain falls
[Pre-Chorus 2] (strumming)
C Take this thorn from my side Bm Fix this chip on my shoulder Em Time is racing with the clock Am And I ain't getting any older
[Chorus 2]
C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. D D7 G You set out each day, never to arrive
[Bridge] (no guitar, just organ)
G I put on my finest thread, and I wrap up my body tight C G With the sun in my eyes, I step into the night D/F# Em Like the mystery in the dark. Oh, it's just another kind of light
(strumming)
G I don't expect you to believe me C D G But everything is alright G I don't make rules for a living, I don't do tricks for a dime C G I was born on a good day, deaf, dumb and blind. D/F# Em Who am I to tell the truth? Oh I don't even know what it is. G Well I don't know how to say it C D G But I know that I can show you G I said I don't know how to say it C D G But I know that I can show you
[Verse 3] (double time)
G I tie my boots up tight and I head straight for bed C There's a pistol and a crystal underneath my pillow G There's a tender heart inside that ugly armadillo C D "These are tears of joy," cried the weeping willow
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C There's a spirit in the air D And there ain't no way around it G I was not prepared to lose it C On the moment that I found it
[Chorus 3]
C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. C D It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try. D D7 G You set out each day, never to arrive Woo
