Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Oh when the summer sun come cutting

Like a clean razor blade

 And I wake to the day and all the visions I've made

 Reached out my hand for the curl of her hair

 And whisper my dreams to the girl who's not there

 Gather some memory from the night before

 Where'd she go? she go, where'd she go?

Screaming of threats and slam of a door

 Well I don't know, don't know, don't know

 So I look to the window and the city below

 From this bed of mine

Where I eat sweet jelly rolls

 Think I'll put on my face

I'd like to fix me a drink

 'Cause somewhere someone knows just what I think

 Last night's but a question that hangs likes a noose

 'Round my throat, my throat

Surely tonight, I'll invite its abuse

 Well there's no hope, no hope, no hope

 Goodness me, oh my

 Oh my god, I still might be fine

 Get through all the pains I fake

 Poor boy could use a break

 A break from my own daily hate, oh

 "Pain is something no one else knows"

 That's what I hear them say

 But everyone bereaves the day

 I said weary weary walk away

 So I take to the streets like the dead to the grave

 You light me a smoke because it's right to behave

 And I'm all juiced up all morning because the morning is when

 Heros stand tall in the statues of men

 And all the pigeons adore me and peck at my feet

 Oh the fame, the fame, the fame

 Someday they may use my head as a seat

 Well I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait

 Goodness me, oh my

 Oh my god, I still might get by

 Get through all the pains I fake

 Poor boy could use a break

 A break from my own daily hate, oh

 "Pain is something no one else knows"

 That's what I hear them say

 But everyone bereaves the day

 I said weary weary walk away

When I die alone bury me deep

 Way out west past Sunset Street

 So I can hear old 29 when she goes rollin' by

And when they come to claim my skin

 And I go back where I begin

 Place the stones at my head and feet

 Tell them all I've gone to sleep

 And as the city unravels her metal bedroll

 I dirty her sheets with the stumble I stroll

And the people all stop just to watch me go by

 With a thirst in my throat and a tear in my eye

 So riddle me this while I lend you my soul in a song, in a song, a song

 And balance the sky on these shoulders of mine

 Until the dawn, the dawn, the dawn

 Goodness me, oh my

 Oh my god, I still might get by

 Get through all the pains I fake

 Poor boy could use a break

 A break from my own daily hate, oh

 "Pain is something no one else knows"

 That's what I hear them say

 But everyone bereaves the day

 I said weary weary walk away
