    D
You walk and talk and move around in circles

     G                                 D   (D G)
Your friends telling you you are doing fine

D                                 G
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles 

                                        D    (D G)
Through the shattered membranes of your mind

           D                        G
If I could talk to you for just one minute

                                            D  (D G)
Then you would know what it is I am getting at

    D                                   G
But there again your head's got nothing in it

                                 D  (D G)
By the way you left without your hat

Em                 A                   Em A                       
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky

Em                                Bb     D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why
D G 2x
     D
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off

    G                            D  (D G)
The joker that you got is fading too

    D
And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off 

          G                        D  (D G)
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you

    D                                  
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder 

       G                D   
at the silver glittered boys

D                    G
Trying, trying to compete

    D                              
And all at once the room begins to thunder 

    G                                   D    (D G)
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet

Em                 A                   Em A                       
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky

Em                                Bb     D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why
D G 2x
    D
The prostitute is standing on the corner

G                               D   (D G)
Suffering so much pain to stay alive

D
She's so real, that life itself bows down before her

             G                 D   (D G)
She couldn't make that nine to five

          D
While the president is crying, crying in the White House

    G                               D    (D G)
The prime minister's really got the blues

D
All the heads of state are busy playing cat & mouse

                   G                                 D   (D G)
'Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues

Em                 A                   Em A                       
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky

Em                                Bb     D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why

D         G    D    G
God knows why, why, why 
D G . . . . * Alternate: Capo II D = C G = F A = G Em = Dm Bb = G# Set8
