[Intro]
D A Bm G Em G D
[Verse]
D A
Tried some bad meditation
D7 G
Sittin' up in the dark
D A
They say to picture an island
G D
'cause that's one place to start
D A
I guess I could count my blessings
D7 G
I don't sleep in the park
Em Bm
With all my earthly possessions
G A
In one old shopping cart
F#m G
No, I'm up in the penthouse
F#m A
On a big feather bed
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em G D
On that instead
[Harmonica]
D A D7 G
D A G D
[Verse]
D A
My wife takes a vacation
D7 G
One she can't afford
D A
I go fishin' the alleys
G D
For someone to escort
D A
No, I don't mind the money
D7 G
It beats betting on sports
Em Bm
And though it might get expensive
G A
It's cheaper than divorce
F#m G
And I love her torn stockings
F#m A
And her lipstick of red
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em G D
On her instead
[Bridge]
Em Bm
You know you're my favorite
F#m G
She says when we're through
Em Bm
Some parts are off limits
G A
But I'd give them to you
[Violin Solo]
D A D7 G
D A G D
[Verse]
D A
Where the hell was Dock Ellis
D7 G
When I gave up that hit
D A
Where was Timothy Leary
G D
When reality bit
D A
Who's the new Dalai Lama
D7 G
That shy little kid
Em Bm
With no room in his body
G A
Where a stranger could live
F#m G
I can't blame him for dreamin'
F#m A
He'll sleep when he's dead
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em G Bm
On that instead
D A Em G
Is it too late to fixate
Em G D
On that instead
