               G/E    Cm/Eb                  G/E
V1:     So I'm there, charging around with a juggernaut brow

        Cm/Eb                   G/E
        Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make

        Cm/Eb                     G/E
        Cramming commitments like cats in a sack

        Cm/Eb                G/E
        Telephone burn and a purposeful gait

             Cm/Eb                G/E
        When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch

             Cm/Eb                     G/E            Cm/Eb
        Of a song that I know, and the world moves in slow-mo

        G/E                          Cm/Eb                  (G)
        Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day

        (G)        Eb/C          G              Eb/C                 G
C1:       And it's you, and it's May, and we're sleeping through the day

                Eb/C        G            Eb/C           (G/E)
        And I'm five years ago and three thousand miles away

V2:     Do I have time? A man of my caliber stood in the street

               Cm/Eb                  G/E
        Like a sleepwalking teenager, no

              Cm/Eb
        And I dealt with this years ago

        G/E                Cm/Eb
        I took a hammer to every momento

            G/E                 Cm/Eb
        But image on image like beads on a rosary

        G/E                         Cm/Eb
        Pull through my head as the music takes hold

                G/E                  Cm/Eb
        And the sickener hits: I can work till I break

            G/E                      Cm/Eb              (G)
        But I love the bones of you, that I will never escape

              Eb/C          G            Eb/C               G
        And I can't move my arm, through fear that you will wake

                Eb/C        G            Eb/C           (C5)
        And I'm five years ago and three thousand miles away
