_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] It's a long way down from the high horse you're on [F] when you stumble and then [D] you fall.
[C] And the last time we saw him [Bb] he was out in the [Em] rain watching [Am] that train [Em] roll [Am] down the [Em] train.
Now he's [Am] back in [E] showcase trying to [Am] make a comeback.
[C] We know that he's desperate and we know that he's woke.
[F] He's known as the biggest [D] wheelpile child.
[C] They told the young girl with the clip on, just give him a muse, [Em] whatever [Am] you do.
[Em] Don't tell [Am] him your name, [Em] whatever [Am] you think.
[E] Don't [Am] let him drink [Bb] underline, underline, [G] underline.
_ _ _ He [Dm] whistles out a tune.
[Eb] His words [Ebm] don't [Bb] always rhyme. _ _
[Eb] But we [Dm] will be right back. _
[Eb] We're [Ebm] almost [Bb] out of time.
Down along Doradoff [Ab] he's _ trying to [Bb] impress.
He was out on a short [Ab] pro pass.
And up [Bb] her dress, held a clock on the wall.
[Ab] Tick _ tock, a [Bb]
time away when the band [Dm] starts to play. _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] In a violent strip of an _ undressable robe [F] she loosened his grip [G] and started.
_ [C] Tell me you're sorry [Gm] if you feel [C] so [Em] inclined.
He [Am] was a mess, [Em] _ [Am] almost [Em] resigned.
Well she [Am] could guess, [Em] I'd see [Am] _ [Bb] her and she'd thought, oh you know I [G] wouldn't mind.
_ _ _ He [Dm] asked her boyfriend's name, [Eb] then [Ebm] heard her [Bb] family tree. _ _ _
[Eb] She [Dm] thought I can't believe _ _
[Eb] it's [Ebm] happening [Bb] to me.
And upset said hey Ben [Ab] would you _ _ kindly pass [Bb] that bill.
And allow me to just [Ab] dictate _ my [Bb] dying will.
And the clock on the wall [Ab] ticked off.
[Db] A time [Bb] away and the band [Dm] starts to play.
[C] _ _
[Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] Jimmy was dreaming [Bb] as he uncrossed her legs.
[F] He shuddered his eyes, [Dm] this regret.
[C] And he bought out the drummer [Gm] and [C] considered his snare.
[Em] To the beat [Am] of his heart [Em] said don't [Am] even [Em] start his conscience [Am] in his face.
[Em] Don't [Am] even dare, [Bb] _ she's completely [G] unaware.
_ _ _ [Eb] She forced [Dm] a laugh or a sigh _ [Eb] at [Ebm] every _ [Bb] alibi. _ _ _
[Eb] Once [Dm] every crime was confessed, [Eb] he _ [Ebm] buttoned [Bb] up his vest.
Said hey gal you're a pal, [Ab] you've _ really been [Bb] a sport.
And you're gonna get a [Ab] record _ if you don't [Bb] get caught.
And the clock on the wall [Ab] ticked _ off.
A time [Bb] away and the band [Dm] starts to [D] play. _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's a long way down but Ben I'll show on.
It's a long way back, he'll shoot cover you're back.
Or you'll bury your plan.
[Bb] Nevermind, what a mind, [C] nevermind what a mind.
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] It's a long way up down [Bb] but Ben I'll show on.
[C] It's a long way back, [Bb] he'll shoot cover you're back.
[C] Or you'll bury your plan, nevermind what a mind, nevermind what a mind.
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] It's a long way down, [Bb] I'll show off.
[C] It's a long way [Bb] up, until after you try.
[C] Your very last cry [Bb] was loud, _ [C] under a lie, _ [Bb] under a lie. _ _ _ _ _ _
