Circled in the words like the vultures

E minorEm
The music man sings his mystery songs
  B minorBm        C majorC
He tries to put his finger on
    B minorBm               E minorEm
There's things unfelt that he's always longed to feel

E minorEm
The things we all are destined to loose
   B minorBm
While I seek out that crooked muse
  C majorC         B minorBm        E minorEm
You stole my heart and filled it up with blues

I've been waiting for you and me to watch this world from a windows seat
C majorC             B minorBm       E minorEm
Look down there, all them tiny creatures running crazy
  C majorC         B minorBm
And I've been here on this precipice
  E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G
And I picked apart anything I bring
     C majorC         B minorBm        E minorEm
So we can toss our suitcase into the wind at last

Let it roll, let it ride, let it ride on me

C majorC            E minorEm
Lay me down here in your field
C majorC             E minorEm
They know just, what they steal
