[E] I am one who comes, a composer of [B] trends, a man of space and love,
turn your back to the [C#m] wall, and you walk 20 yards,
with your head in the [A] air, from the left to the right,
a flash of the key, [E] your quick, curious eyes,
on your rugged way, [B] for the once in your life,
you've got nothing to say, [C#m] you get to spend your time,
and somebody will come, [A] to take a look at you, so,
you're not much use to [E] anyone.
[B]
[C#m] [A]
[E] Like a walk in the park, like a body in the snow,
[B] with the lights that you throw, all the memories go,
[C#m] but it takes more than this, to make sense of the day,
[A] and it takes more than love, to get rid of the tears,
[E] and you toss it to this, and you toss it to that,
[B] and you saw it all come, it was wave in the [C#m] flight,
of the United States, Oklahoma TV,
[A] but they're all been done, boy, I know you're [E] gonna play.

[C#m] [A] In [E] the morning you come, you're the lady salon,
[B] to pick it all, fill it up, all the paper bags thrown,
[C#m] but the people who live, are far away from the place,
[A] where you want to tell, you're a bit of a waste,
[E] and the puzzle will last, till somebody will say,
[B] there's a lot to be done, while your head is snowing,
you'll [C#m] keep it under bed, leave the worries behind,
[A] then the moment will come, and the memory [E] will show.

and [Fm] you go to the place, where you finally found,
you can look at [E] yourself, sleep the clock around.
