[Intro]
B E B B E B
B E E B B E B
[Verse 1]
B E B
Houdini’s still stuck in that Doctorow book
B E B
The one place he can never escape
B E B
And your voice on the phone is like one of those paintings
B F# B
Where everything loses its shape
G#m
And the girl across the street, she's as light on her feet
B F#
As sunlight bouncing off chrome
B F# E B B F# B
And I'm sad, sad, sad, sad, and far away from home
[Verse 2]
B E B
Once I was standing on a Dublin street corner
B E B
I heard a fiddler pierce the veil of illusion
B E B
And once I got plastered at my best friend’s bar mitzvah
B F# B
Once I lived in perfect confusion
G#m
Oh and once I was eleven, once I was just atoms
B F#
Once I was a hilltop in Rome
B F# E B B F# B
Now I’m sad, sad, sad, sad, and far away from home
F# B E B E B F# B
Oh lie, dee-dee, de-de-dee, dee-dee, de-de-dee-dee-dee-dee, de-de-dee, de-de-dee
[Verse 3]
B E B
Now a kiss is just a flower that a bee could return from
B E B
And do his little dance at the hive
B E B
Perhaps it's worth mentioning, as I write this song down
B F# B
I am the happiest fucker alive
G#m
For the seashore cries out for the painter to paint it
B F#
And the wind whips the water into foam
B F# E B B F# B
And I'm sad, sad, sad, sad, and far away from home
B F# E B B F# B
Yes I am sad, sad, sad, sad, and I’m far away from home
F# B E B E B F# B
So lie, dee-dee, de-de-dee, dee-dee, de-de-dee-dee-dee-dee, de-de-dee, de-de-dee
