_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Heading for the great _ _ [Am] escape, heading for the rain,
_ _ [G]
heading for the permanent _ _
[Em] _ _ holiday, _ _ _ _
_ [C] heading for the winter trip, _ [Am] _ heading for the slide,
_ _ [G] heading for the _ dignified _ walk _ _ away,
_ _ [C] _ heading for the open road, [Am] _ _
goodbye to all that,
_ _ [G] heading for the arch of magic [Em] _
_ overload, _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ Standing in the open road, [Gb] _ standing in the sway, _
_ _ [G] waiting _ for the ringing _ and the bright fire, _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] waiting to be recognized by [Am] _ the applause order,
_ _ [G] they shower you with flowers [D] when they _ bury you,
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ you're holding _ _ on, [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] you're _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ holding your [Em] heart,
_ [E] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
just [Gb] when I [E] thought I'd seen [Em] the last of you,
[A] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [C]
you come here scratching [Bm] at [A] my door,
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
you [E] paint an [Gb] image in [Em] my heart,
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
of [D] me,
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
that [A] you rejected,
_ _ [D] _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ the [A] truth you _ [G] _ disrespected,
_ [Em] you're scared of, _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ why [Em] did you, _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [C] why did _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ you,
use your [G] head for judging,
_ _ [Dm] _ _

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] don't ask me why I'm doing this,
you wouldn't understand,
_ _ _ [Am] you're asking the wrong questions,
_ you couldn't _ _ [C] understand,
a bridge is not a high place,
the _ 52nd _ floor,
_ [Am] in your eyes you know,
the mountain isn't far to [F] fall,
[C] _ [F] when you fall there,
_ _ _ _ [Dm] when you fall _ _ there,
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] so you're higher, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] when _ [F] you fall _ _ there,
_ [Dm] I'll crawl there,
_ _ _ _ [C] so _ _
_ [G] _ you'll lose, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] what _ _ _ is _ [F] _ left _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ of _ _ you,
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
