A F#m
D E
[Verse]
A F#m
Rings 'round his eyes
A F#m
Tracks down his arm
A F#m
His fans are confused and his
D E
friends are alarmed
A F#m
His wife doesn't talk
A F#m
Hates when he's gone
A F#m
Counts every skirt
D E
in his new entourage
[Chorus]
D E7
And they're all gossamer thin
A F#m
Left of the dial, bohemians
D E7
And they dance, tournament style
A F#m
Twirl 'round the room, curtsey and smile
A F#m
And they sit at his feet,
A F#m
read poetry and
A E D E7 A
Swoon with each word he speaks
[Harmonica]
A F#m

A F#m
D E
[Verse]
A F#m
She likes the new pope
A F#m
She's not scared of hell
A F#m
They meet once a week
D E
at a secret motel
A F#m
She kisses his neck,
A F#m
she plays with his hair
A F#m
Her screams sound like pleasure,
D E
her moans like despair
[Verse]
D E7
And they're spread gossamer thin
A F#m
Pushed to the edge, frayed at the ends
D E7
And it's no business of mine
A F#m
They can love more than one at a time
A F#m
But they're pushing their luck
A F#m
Hard but they must
A E D E7 A
Risk it all for love

[Bridge]
C#m D E
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state
F#m D A
The drink in my hand is starting to shake
C#m D E
I get used to it if it has to stay this way
F#m D E7
A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange
[Harmonica]
A F#m
A F#m
A F#m
D E
[Verse]
A F#m
I don't want to eat
A F#m
or get out of bed
A F#m
Try to recall
D E
what the therapist said
A F#m
Ego and Id,
A F#m
the Essential Self
A F#m
You are who you are
D E
and you are someone else
[Chorus]
D E7
But I'm worn gossamer thin
A F#m
Like delicate arch, carved by the wind
D E7
There's a glass psyche at stake
A F#m
Throw me a brick, see if it breaks
A F#m
'Cause the mind and the brain
A F#m
aren't quite the same
A E D E7 A
But they both want out of this place
