Tom : Em
[Intro]
Em D G Cadd9 Em
It ain't no jive
G
I was burning alive
Cadd9
Whenever you walk in the room
Em
It happened so quickly
G
I was feeling so sickly
Cadd9
Like a lover who lost his muse
Em
The sharks in the tank
G
The man in the bank
Cadd9
He wants my money to loan
Em
I can't understand
G
What the hell is his plan
Cadd9
He ain't even got a home
Ain't got a home
Em D G Cadd9 Em
Girl on a street
G
With holes in her feet
Cadd9
Looks through the eyes of a cloud
Em
She don't look amazed
G
She's feeling kind of sad
Cadd9
So I just walk around
Em
I reassess
G
She's down on her luck
Cadd9
She's reading a book of lies
Em D G
I don't know when I'm coming home baby
Cadd9
But I shall sympathize
Em D G Cadd9
Can sympathize
Em D G Cm
Can sympathize
Cm Bm
Angels spread their wings
Am
On all the dirty things
Bm
That you
Cm
Do
Instrumental:
Em G
Cadd9 (2x)
Em
She drops to the floor
G
Her head's by the door
Cadd9
Her bible is by her side
Em
Heaven is calling
G
The new world is falling
Cadd9
And she ain't got a single person left
Em
To confide
G Cadd9
No one to confide
Em G Cadd9
No one to confide
Em G Cadd9
Oh to confide
Em G Cadd9
I sympathize
Em G Cadd9
Can sympathize
Em D G Cadd9
