Tom: C
C G C G

[Verse 1]
C E
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
F G Am
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
G F G Am
The wall to wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
  G        F
N.C. | C G |
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you're a rock'n roll suicide

[Verse 2]
C E
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
F G Am
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
G F G Am
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
  G        F
N.C. | C G |
Oh no no no, you're a rock'n roll suicide

[Verse 3]
C E
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
F G Am
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
G F G
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
E Am
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
F D9 G7
They're so natural, religiously unkind

[Chorus]
N.C. C
Oh no love, you're not alone
A
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
C A
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Dbm Abm
Oh no love, you're not alone
B Ebm
No matter what or who you've been
Bbm Db
No matter when or where you've seen
B Ebm
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
Bbm Db
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
N.C.
You're not alone

[Outro]
  Bb      B         C        Db        Bb
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Bb B C Db Bb
Let's turn on and be ... not alone (wonderful)
Bb B C Db Bb
Gimme your hands ... cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
Bb B C Db Bb
Gimme your hands ... cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
Bb B C Db Fm Cm Gb Db
Oh, gimme your hands
