Intro: G C9 G C9
G C9 G C9
Michael, where are you now? x2
D C9
Somehow in my excitement the last time you called,
D C9
It slipped again to ask your hidden whereabouts
D
I got a lead from your old triple ex-girlfriend,
C9 D
she said "I heard he lost his mind again"
C9 Bm7 C9
"Again?" I said, I didn't know that you ever did
G C9 G C9
Michael, where are you now? x2
Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired
Getting high in southern air
Shoeless, sandy evenings down the unfamiliar
Last whiff of salt-water freedom
Skipping shells in the dead zone
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
With the ghost on your side
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
Of the state borderline, whispering
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
"Take it, take it, take it, take it
G C9 D* (just bass C F# G…)
Take it ...
(guitar rhythm is more flowing here)
(tacit) G C9
Do you remember our first subway ride?
G C9
Our first heavy metal haircuts?
G C9
Our last swim on the east coast?
G C9
And me with my ridiculous looking pierced nose?
D C9
I remember your warm smile in the sun
D C9
The daydreaming boy without a shirt on
D C9
The Birmingham barfly father left the mother
D C9 ...
of three sons. You're the oldest juvenile delinquent bum
(tacit 8 beats)
G C9 (repeat 8 times total)
My best friend
