[Intro]
C Bbsus2 (x2)

[Verse 1]
C Bbsus2
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on
F Gsus4
When you stumble and then you're thrown
C Bbsus2
And the last time we say him he was out in the rain
Em Am Em Am
Watchin' that train roll down the track
Em Am Em Am
Now he's back in showbiz trying make a comeback


[Verse 2]
C Bbsus2
We know that he's desperate and we know that he's broke
F Gsus4
He's the mystery guest we'll puncture
C Bbsus2
They told a young girl with a clipboard "Just keep him amused"
Em Am Em Am
"Whatever you do, don't tell him your name"
Em Am Em Am
"Whatever you say, don't let him drink"
Bb G
Under lime, under lime, under lime


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
He whistles out of tune his words don't always rhyme
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
But we will be right back, we're almost out of time


(Chorus)
G# F# F Bb
Down a long corridor he's trying to impress
G# F# F Bb
He was helpin' a showgirl fasten up her dress
G# F# F Bb
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

[Instrumental]
D D7 Gm/Bb (x2)

[Verse 3]
C Bbsus2
In the violent strip of an undressing room
F Gsus4
She loosened his grip and started
C Bbsus2
Tell me your story, if you feel so inclined
Em Am Em Am
He was a mess, almost resigned
Em Am Em Am
Though she could guess, I think you will find
Bb G
She thought, "Oh you know, I wouldn't mind"


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
He asked her boyfriend's name then her whole family tree
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
She thought "I can't believe it's happening to me"


[Chorus]
G# F# F Bb
And upset, said "Hey pet: would you kindly pass that pill
G# F# F Bb
And allow me to just dictate my dying will"
G# F# F Bb
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

[Instrumental]
D D7 Gm/Bb (x2)

[Verse 4]
C Bbsus2
Jimmy was dreamin' as she uncrossed her legs
F Gsus4
He shuttered his eyes discreetly
C Bbsus2
And he thought of a drummer and considered a snare
Em Am Em Am
But the beat of his heart said, "Don't even start"
Em Am Em Am
His conscience was bare, it said, "Hey, don't even dare"
Bb G
She's completely unaware


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
She forced a laugh or a sigh at every alibi
Eb Dm Eb Ebm Bb
Once every crime was confessed he buttoned up his vest


[Chorus]
G# F# F Bb
Said "Hey gal, you'r a pal, you've really been a sport
G# F# F Bb
And you don't get a record if you never get caught"
G# F# F Bb
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

[Instrumental]
D D7 Gm/Bb (x3)
C Bbsus2 (x2)
[Outro]
C Bbsus2
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on
C Bbsus2
It's a long way back as you cover your track
C
Or you bury your crime
Bbsus2 C Bbsus2
Under lime, under lime, under lime, under lime
C Bbsus2
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on
C Bbsus2
It's a long way back as you cover your track
C
Or you bury your crime
Bbsus2 C Bbsus2
Under lime, under lime, under lime, under lime
C Bbsus2
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on
C Bbsus2
It's a long way back as you cover your track
C
As you bury your crime
Bbsus2
Under lime, under lime, under lime
