N.C.                 Bbadd9
Me and T-Bone on the road to town

                           Fadd9          C
It's like I'm walking with a talking machine

Fadd9                            Bb/C Cadd9
    Just as soon as he thinks of something else

                 Bbadd9 Bb/F  Fadd9
He won't wait to interrupt    himself
[Verse 2]
                           Bbadd9
Must be something that he can't quite say

                             Fadd9
He just doesn't want to leave it that  way

            Bb    Gm7       C
Although he may not know it yet

Fadd9            Bbadd9
Unless I miss my bet

          Gm7          C7
He's just trying to forget

                    Eb/F  Fadd9  Eb/F  Fadd9 Bb6  Gm7/C  Fadd9
What his heart remembers
[Verse 3]
                         Bbadd9
I see that T-Bone got an automobile

               Fadd9          C
Low-loping and open to the sky

Fadd9                 Bb/C Cadd9
     All night behind the hurricane wheel

       Bbadd9  Bb/F  Fadd9
Riding in the eye
[Verse 4]
              Bbadd9
All day underneath the hood

                  Fadd9
Mondo Bondo, plastic, wood

           Bb     Gm7       C
He needs a mile of masking tape

               Fadd9            Bbadd9
If he wants to keep his ship in shape

Gm7           C7
Someday to escape

                     Eb/F
What his heart remembers

Fadd9  Eb/F  Fadd9  Bb6                 Gm7/C  F5
             Oh yes, what his heart remembers
[Interlude] Fadd9 Eb/F Fadd9 Bb6 Gm7/C F5 Bbadd9 Fadd9 Bb Gm7 C7 F C F C F C F C F Bb C Bb C F Bb C [Verse 5]
N.C      Bbadd9
T-Bone's not alone, not alone

                     Fadd9
Looks like he gets a second chance

Fadd9             Bb/C Cadd9
It's Mamarama and Lumalamalu

                 Bbadd9 Bb/F Fadd9
Want to take him to   recovery dance
[Verse 6]
                              Bbadd9
He's looking like he gets his meatsuit back

                                Fadd9
I guess he must have missed the crack attack

           Bb       Gm7     C
Still he's riding for a fall

                Fadd9        Bbadd9
'Cause it's written upon the wall

Gm7            C7
Now he must recall

                   Eb/F  Bb6   Gm7/C
What his heart remembers

F                Eb/F             Fadd9  Eb/F  Fadd9  Bb6  Gm7/C  F
What his heart remembers yeah now
