So what’s in the back of your little red book?
F G C F
And why do you smile when you know I’m done?
F G C E7 Am
There’s bait on the air and a lazy old sun
Dm G
To keep the heat in every inkling
Dm G
A forest fire of sideways thinking
C F G
The tricks all tried
C F G
A thousand times
F C Dm G C
To wrestle down the wind
F G C F
You fade in the haze of the opening road
F G C F
I fought for you once but I must let go
F G C E7 Am
Cos how many years can you keep this whole?
Dm G
Too many other cats are craving
Dm G
They’re polishing their claws and saying
C F G
In fifteen words
C F G
What took me years
F C Dm G C C C C
To hang my name upon

A crowd flowed the isles as Euripides slunk

Over yellow stone cliffs to the home that he loved

You seize this disease ’til you’re all used up

Consoling every unpaid artist

The chance to finish what they started
