(Capo 3rd fret)
G Em Am
Hey when the need becomes too strong or long
C
And drawn out for me to take
G Em Am C
Like a cigarette burn to the fleshly turbines of my heart
G Em Am C
That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory
G Em Am
Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here
C
Standing naked on my own
Your voice is small on my voice mail system
A million miles away
But if I turned it off
I would not hear the silly things you say
The world must chill
And like a king I ring up old acquaintances
"It's like the man says ""I ain't here on business"""
But it's all work anyway
D Am
On any other day
D
They say the light has no equal
Am C
On any other day
The date's irrelevant but she was drunk
In the heat of the June night
The faces in the windows - shouts rang out
In dawn's early light
The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled
On my two shambling legs
I gotta go I said - they both looked dead
On any other day
The fire blazed away
The kitchen porch was all that remained
And I'm out here alone / beat up and pissed
Until this very day
That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time
And I was ravaged to the bone
Your voice got smaller 'til I realized
It was gone
