[Intro] Ab Fm Ab Fm Ab Fm Gb Db/F Eb Gb Db/F Eb Gb [Pre-Verse] Ab [Verse 1]
Ab
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness

Ab
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain

Ab
If I said that you're my friend

Ab
And our love would never end

                                      B
How long before I had your trust again

  Ab
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside

Ab
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in

Ab
But how can I protect you

Ab
Or try not to neglect you

Ab
When you won't take the love I have to give
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                          Abm
I bought me an illusion An I

Abm
put it on the wall

Fm
I let it fill my head with dreams

    Abm
And I  had to have them all

    Fm
But oh the taste is never so sweet

Eb
As what you'd believe it is

Eb
Well I guess it never is

Eb
It's these prejudiced illusions

Eb
That pump the blood

                    Gb
To the heart of the biz
[Verse 2]
Ab    Ab
  You know I never thought

Ab
That it could take so long

Ab
You know I never knew how to be strong

Ab
Yeah, I let you shape me

Ab
But I feel as though you raped me

Ab
'Cause you climbed inside my world

Ab
And in my songs

Ab
So now I've closed the door

Ab
To keep the cold outside

Ab
Seems somehow I've found the will to live

Ab
But how can I forget you

Ab
Or try not to reject you

                                          Db Gb
When we both know it takes time to forgive
[Chorus]
Ab        G       Gb
Sweetness is a virtue

F           E                    B
And you lost your virtue long ago

    Ab       G           Gb
You know I'd like to hurt  you

F      E                            B
But my conscience always tells me no

          Ab        G    Gb     F
You could sell your body on the street

   E                     B
To anyone whom you might meet

      Ab      G       Gb        F
Who'd love to try and get inside

    E             Eb
And bust your innocence open wide

          Ab
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive

Ab
My baby's gone off the track

Ab
My baby's got a locomotive

Ab
Got ta peel the bitch off my back

Db Ab    Db   Ab         Ab  Db    Ab Db Ab
  I  know  it looks like I'm insane

Db     Ab   Db      Ab        Db      B
  Take a closer look  I'm not to blame
[Solo 2]
Ab
  No
[Verse 3]
Ab
Gonna have some fun with my frustration

Ab
Gonna watch the big screen in my head

Ab
I'd rather take a detour

Ab
'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer

Ab
Your train of thought has cut me off again

B Ab
  Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one

Ab
Better tame that boy for he's a man

Ab
Sweetheart don't make me laugh

Ab
You's gettin' too big for your pants

Ab
And I's think maybe you should

Ab
Cut out while you can
[Pre-Chorus]
F                               Ab
You can use your illusion Let it

Ab
take you where it may

F
We live and learn

                   Ab                    F
And then sometimes it's best to walk away

F
Me I'm just here hangin' on

     Eb
It's my only place to stay at least

Eb
For now anyway

Eb
I've worked too hard for my illusions

                        Gb
Just to throw them all away
[Verse 4]
Ab    Ab
  I'm taking time for quiet consolation

Ab
In passing by this love that's passed away

Ab
I know it's never easy

Ab
So why should you believe me

Ab
When I've always got so many things to say

Ab
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made

Ab
'Cause playful hearts

Ab
Can sometimes be enraged

Ab
You know I tried to wake you

Ab
I mean how long could it take you

                                      Db Gb
To open up your eyes and turn the page
[Chorus]
Ab       G        Gb
Kindness is a treasure

F           E                              B
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown

        Ab     G        Gb     F
So I'll say it for good measure

   E                          B
To all the ones like you I've known

   Ab       G            Gb     F
Ya know I'd like to shave  your head

       E
And all my friends could Paint it red
B
       Ab      G      Gb      F
'Cause love to me's a two way street

      E        Eb
An all I really  want is peace

       Ab
But my baby's got a locomotive

Ab
My baby's gone off the track

Ab
My baby's got a locomotive

Ab
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
Ab

  Ab      G         Gb
Affection is a blessing

F           E                       B
Can you find it in your sordid heart

           Ab        G         Gb
I tried to keep this thing Tage
ther
F          E                    B
But the tremor tore my pad apart

Ab     G         Gb          F
Yeah I know it's hard to face

        E                                B
When all we've worked for's gone to waste

           Ab            G
But you're such a stupid woman

        Gb            F
And I'm such a stupid man

    E                Eb
But love like time's got its own plans

          Ab
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
