[C#]
[F#] [B]
[F#] [G#m] Lately I've [E] been heading for a [F#]
breakdown.
[Bm] Every [F#] time I leave my [G#m] house, [E] well it feels just like a [F#] shakedown.
[G#m] Between the street sweepers and the [F#] pushers, [B] all the lawyers who [E] may as well [F#] be butchered.
[G#m] Between the small time and [F#] hustlers [B] who all seem to [E] feed upon [F#] each other.
[E] Oh [G#m]
God, why you [F#] been
[E] hanging [G#m] out in that old [F#]
violin while I've been [E] waiting [G#m] for
[F#] you to pull me [B] through?

Lately [F#] I,
[G#m] every [E] time I try [F#m] to [F#] lie down, [B] well my mind just gets away.
[G#m] I can't [F#] even close my eyes now.
Between [G#m] the big fish ambition [F#] [B] and the lovers using words as [F#m] ammunition.
Between [G#m] the wood planks I've been [F#] pacing [B] and this impossible dream that I've been [F#] chasing.
[E] Oh [G#m]
[F#]
