Am Am                    G G
I'm broke and I'm hungry, hard up and I'm lonely
Am Am G G F F
I've been dancing on this killing floor for years
Am Am G G
Of the few things I am certain, the captain of my burden
Am Am G G F F
I'm sorry doll, I could never stop the rain


Interlude -
Am Am - G G - Am Am - G G - F F (x2)


Verse 1-
Am Am G G
Once you said I was your hero, you would dance with me on a dime
Am Am G G
We could spin this world right right right round,
F F
And catch back up on the flip side
Am Am
I was gonna get this real big engine,
G G
I was gonna get them Broadway Stars
Am Am G G
You were gonna be my Judy Garland,
F F
We were gonna share your Tin Man heart


Chorus -
C C G G Am Am
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in
F F
There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
C C G G Am Am
Steady now, Steady now, soldier hold fast now
F F G G Am Am G G Am Am
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight


Interlude -

We used to drive all night, all over town

We'd go waltzing Matilda when Matilda came around

And I'd sing them blues to you

C C G G Am Am
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in

There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight

It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

And heart attacks and broken dreams
F F G G C C G G Am Am
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
