Standard (EADGBE)
[G/f#] (2x0033)
Verse 1
[G/f#]
I've been the needle and the thread,
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head,
[G/f#]
I've tried to laugh, but cry instead,
Patiently wait to hear those words you've never said.
Fumbling through your dresser drawer,
[G/f#]
Forgot what I was looking for,
Try to guide me in the right direction;
Making use of all this time,
[G/f#]
Keeping everything inside,
Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.
Chorus
I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;
I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.
I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,
This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.
Verse 2
[G/f#]
"This is not goodbye," she said,
"It is just time for me to rest my head."
[G/f#]
She does not walk, she runs instead,
Down these jagged streets and into my bed, when I was
Fumbling through your dresser drawer,
[G/f#]
Forgot what I was looking for,
Try to guide me in the right direction;
Making use of all this time,
[G/f#]
Keeping everything inside,
Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.
Chorus
I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;
I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.
I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,
This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.
Bridge
There's only so much I can do for you, oh
After all of the things you've put me through.
Chorus
I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;
I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.
I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,
This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.
