Verse 1:
               G                D/F#
They say if it ever was it’s in there still
        Em                             C
You can dig and fill and never will be full
                         G
Trying to get that good again
          G                   D/F#
Your last fifth of jack or cigarette
             Em                              C
The time you bet the farm before you lost it all
                 G
You want that feeling

Pre-Chorus:
         Bm                           C
Back you go against the wind and good advice
            Bm                               D    D/C
Killing yourself to stop from running out of life

Chorus:
    G          D/F#       Am7 C
But if I don’t leave here now
       G         D/F#        Am7/E C
I will never get out of this place
G      D/F#     Am7 C
Baby believe me now
           G         C
There’s no dragon to chase
     G               C
Even looking at your face in front of me

Verse 2:
         G                           D/F#
If there ever was one there could be two
        Em                              C
You and you and you a blue sky could be bluer
                  G     D/F#
A whiter shade of white
              G              D/F#
But while you pour it on you pour it out
          Em                              C
You empty everything you might have saved instead
                   G
For your loneliest night

Pre-Chorus:
         Bm                           C
Back you go against the wind and good advice
            Bm                               D    D/C
Killing yourself to stop from running out of life

Chorus:
    G          D/F#       Am7 C
But if I don’t leave here now
       G         D/F#        Am7/E C
I will never get out of this place
G      D/F#     Am7 C
Baby believe me now
           G         C
There’s no dragon to chase
     G               C
Even looking at your face in front of me

Interlude:
            G7/F
And when it hits the papers the tongues start wagging
Em
  like it can’t be happening, the
D#                   C            G
  doctors giveth and they taketh away
              G7/F
And when they do you’ll find you stand up everyman
Em
Goes looking for his heroin
   C             G
It happens every day
C                                    Ddim7  F#dim7
  Around every bend, again and again

Solo:
G D/F# Am C

Chorus:
G          D/F#       Am7 C
If I don’t leave here now
       G         D/F#        Am7   C
I will never get out of this place
G      D/F#     Am7 C
Baby believe me now
           G         C
There’s no dragon to chase
     G               C
Even looking at your face
N.C.
in front of me
