[Gb] You're [Ab] coming round again, [E] soldier of the road,
[Gb] Sitting [Ab] close to the wind, [E] close to overload.
[Gb] You raised the bar, [Ab] you [Abm] raised the stakes,
[E] You took a chance and made mistakes.
[Gb] Only [Ab] game in town is making [A] sense,
If you're self-imposed.
[B] You leave a long shadow, [A] long and [E] lean,
Straight and [B] narrow.
A long shadow, [A] [E]
straight and narrow.
[Gb] Put your [Abm] finger on the pulse,
[E] It's the beating of your heart.
[Gb]
[Abm] Head above the water, [E] driven from the start.
[Gb] You leave a space [Abm] too big to fill,
[E] You're caught up, you're caught up in a wheel.
