Intro:

F Am (x2)

F C


Verse:

F C
Know a man
F C Am
His face seemed pulled and tense
F C F C Csus4 C Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the stron-gest winds
F C
So I approach with tact
F C
Suggest that he should relax
F C G7 F
But he's always moving much too fast
F Am
Said he'll see me on the flipside
F Am
On this trip he's taking for a ride


Chorus:

F F C F C
He's been taking too much on
F C F C Csus4 C Am
There he goes with his perfectly un - kept clothes
F C
There he goes


Interlude:

Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C C (x4)

Csus4 C Am


Verse:

F C
He's yet to come back
F C
But I've seen his picture
F C F C Am
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
F C
We go way back
F Am
I wonder about his insides
F Am
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size


Chorus:

F F C F C
He's been taken where I don't know

Verse:

F C
And now I rub my eyes
F C
For he has returned
F C F C Csus4 C Am
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
F C
For he still smiles
F C
And he's still strong
F C F C Csus4 C Am
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown
F C F C F C F C Csus4 C Am

And now he's home and we're laughing like we always did my same old, same old fr
iend
F C
Until a quarter to ten
F C
I saw the strain creep in
F C F C Csus4 C Am
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to hap - pen next
F C F C
Before his first step he is off again
