Standard (EADGBE)

 Well I'm waitin' for something to take place

Something to take me away from this race

 'Round city to city, town to town

Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown

(Verse 2)

 And that desperate, no count, desperado

 A thief of love, my business is the street

 I be shakin' 'em down in old Colorado

Texas she's nice, but DC's oh so sweet

 Steal away with me darlin' your lovin' just can't be beat

(Chorus)

 So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what?

 I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move

 You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for

 So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you

Skin it back

(Verse 3)

Somethin' real, somethin' to feel

 I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess

 It's those rock and roll hours early graves without flowers

Please, please darlin' put my mind at rest

 I'm beggin' please darlin' put my mind at rest

(Chorus)

 So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what?

 I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move

 You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for

 So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you

Skin it back

Skin it back, tell it to you

Skin it back, tell it to you

Skin it back, tell it to you
