Chords with lyrics
1 full step down [2 frets]
G+G [C majorC] G+G
G+G
The end of the line
C majorC
A augmentedA calamity at first sight
A minorAm
Now the man in me don't walk right
D MajorD D7D7
Just like a pebble in my shoe
G+G [C majorC] G+G
But you were a wanderer;
C majorC
And a competent one at that
A minorAm
So it caught me by surprise this venerability
D MajorD
That I never thought I had
E minorEm
But you tried so hard to say oh
C majorC G+G
everything you wanted to
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
But with an aching tongue-
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
Oh you spat out at the world now not of words
D7D7 C majorC G+G
but at the pearl that had belonged to her
C majorC G+G
So I went back to the country
C majorC G+G
where the air was mild and sweet
A minorAm
I was in need of some reprieve and intermission
D MajorD
Oh to gather up my things and to get back upon my feet
C majorC G+G
But I cant say I've got the answers
C majorC G+G
For it's always shades of grey
A minorAm
But there's a warmth in the air in mid-September
D MajorD
And its enough across my face just to
C majorC G+G [C majorC] G+G
Remind me that I'm well upon my way
G+G
And I feel the ease
C majorC
Man I feel it tingle in my toes
A minorAm
How funny are the way that these memories do grow
D MajorD
Into some old french film in black and white
G+G [C majorC]-G
And I know the ropes
C majorC
Because you see I've said goodbye to some lovers
A minorAm
Fleshed out and tied to each other
D MajorD
By that invisible string it tangles me
E minorEm
And when that morning came up fast well it
C majorC G+G
Broke the fever square upon its back
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
and finally I felt just like I should
A minorAm G+G
oh the blood under my fingers warmed
D MajorD C majorC G+G
the clearing of two month storm now done...
C majorC G+G
So I went back to the country
C majorC G+G
where the air's now bitter sweet
A minorAm
as subtle is the change of my indifference
D MajorD
Oh but strange is how this solitude
can beat a man complete
C majorC G+G
and I can't wait 'till the morning;
C majorC G+G
be it sunshine, hail or snow
A minorAm
see I do not believe in superstition
D MajorD
But somewhere amongst this mess
C majorC G+G [C majorC] G+G
I may have found some happiness to call my own
A minorAm D7D7
Oh and time is a healer
C majorC G+G
time is a friend of mine
A minorAm D7D7
in time if you feel it
C majorC G+G
would you be a friend of mine
C majorC
oh I hope you're a friend of mine
