Chords
Can't find the lyrics for this gem anywhere, so this is my best guess. It revolves
around just two chords, although the other instruments add extra flavor.
[Intro]
F# E e|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|-4-------------2-------------| A|---4-------------2-----------| E|-----2-------------0---------|
[Verse 1]
F# Skiptracer, find for me my friend E Who skipped out on a groove down an old trail. F# E Old friends, don't fall, never fail. F# People fighting for something are beautiful. Your long, long reaching out is meaningful. E Whatever you want I will give it to you. F# People fighting for something are beautiful. Your long, long reaching out is meaningful. E Whatever you want I will give it to you.
[Chorus 1]
F# E I wanna go back, but time makes me know that it's a waste to want something like that. F# E I wanna go back, but time makes me know that it's a waste to want something like that, F# So good luck, babe.
[Interlude]
F# E x 2
[Verse 2]
F# E Once, I rose above the noise and confusion (and getting kicked around). F# E Once, I rose above the noise and confusion (and getting kicked around). F# I had started pretty good. I was feeling my way through it, E Had the wheels in motion. F# I had started pretty good. I was feeling my way through it, E Had the wheels in motion. F# Taxis in the gray. E Whiskey sweating down our knees. F# Taxis in the gray grave. Sweating down our knees. E Wanna go back.
[Chorus 2]
F# E I wanna go back, but time makes me know that it's a waste to want something like that. F# E I wanna go back, but time makes me know that it's a waste to want something like that, F# E So good luck, babe.
[Outro]
F# E I said I got an old picture of you from there. F# E Coasting through the tall stalks (can't go back). F# E I wanna go back.
