Tom: C
C
There was a time I'd lay awake
C F
Thinking of birthday cake or snow
G C F
Now the music's getting old
F G C F
The night is just a sigh, lead to slow
Dm G
Anyway you said you wanna go, oh
[Chorus 1]
F G C F
I guess it's the time, we can go to my house
F G C F
I'll take you in, and you can stare at my mouth
C C/B Am7 G F C
I used to be a talker, but that's all behind me now
[Verse 2]
C
They fly to Lotus Lane
C F
Old folks in bowling shirts and gray
G C F
Playing rummy on the fold-out tray
F G C F
He does his well-known bit about seat belt demonstration
Dm G
And I, I'm somewhere far away
Dm G
Watching little lights, all along the beltway
[Chorus 2]
F G
Those Indica blues
C F
You pretend to be proud
F G
This is how it comes
C F
You either swim, or get out
C C/B Am7 G F C
I used to be a fighter, but that's all behind me now
[Break]
F G C F
F G C F
C C/B Am7 G F
[Bridge]
Dm G
It's a long way to the end
Dm G
And I got my quarters here, up on this fence
Dm G
But I can feel the breezes closing in
[Chorus 3]
F G C F
Let's act like you've seen sweat on my brow
F G C F
You'll be fighting fire and I'll be around
C C/B Am7 G F
I used to be a dreamer, but that's all behind me
