F G C F
So what’s in the back of your little red book?
F G C F
And why do you smile when you know I’m done?
F G C E7 Am
There’s bait on the air and a lazy old sun
Dm G
To keep the heat in every inkling
Dm G
A forest fire of sideways thinking
C F G
The tricks all tried
C F G
A thousand times
F C Dm G C
To wrestle down the wind
F G C F
You fade in the haze of the opening road
F G C F
I fought for you once but I must let go
F G C E7 Am
Cos how many years can you keep this whole?
Dm G
Too many other cats are craving
Dm G
They’re polishing their claws and saying
C F G
In fifteen words
C F G
What took me years
F C Dm G C C C C
To hang my name upon

A crowd flowed the isles as Euripides slunk
F G C F
Over yellow stone cliffs to the home that he loved
F G C E7 Am
You seize this disease ’til you’re all used up
Dm G
Consoling every unpaid artist
Dm G
The chance to finish what they started
F C Dm G C
Another Sunday psalm
