B B         A A           E E          B B   A A   E E
I finally had all my ducks in a row
B B A A E E B B A A E E
Peace and quiet, the means of subtraction
B B A A E E B B A A E E
And how she got in, I'm not sure that I know
B B A A E E B B A A E E
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction, my eyes in a basket

B B A A E E
B B A A E E

B B A A E E B B A A E E
Well, god in my heart is so out of phase
B B A A E E B B A A E E
And that kind of girl she ain't nobody's daughter
B B A A E E B B A A E E
I'm just not used to these powerful waves
B B A A E E B B
She shallows the breath and I'm taking on water
A A E E
What am I to do now?


D D E E D D E E
I call on a beautiful wish with a moral compass
B B A A E E (X2)
I better swim

#B B A A E E...#

Hide from my psychic derailleur
Drive this car to the sea
Spend the night as high as a cannon in a towering hemlock

But it's no use you can always be found
A A creature of habit has no real protection

I'll tell her I leave if she don't settle down
She sees it's a lie on closer inspection
Like everyone else does

D D E E
The running, a terrible chomp
D D E E
All this smoke in

F#7 F#7 B B
my eyes
F#7 F#7 B B
I'm just a simple man
F#7 F#7 B B
Cursed with an honest heart
D D E E B B A A E E
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?

#14-BAR TAB SOLO IN RANGE OF B A E#

D D E E
The running, a terrible chomp
D D E E
All this smoke in

F#7 F#7 B B
my eyes
F#7 F#7 B B
I'm just a simple man
F#7 F#7 B B
Cursed with an honest heart
D D E E B B
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?
