G+G G6G6
Looking back at my reflection
G+G G6G6 G+G
Ghost train whistle howled
G6G6 G+G G6G6
Back at my past with forgiveness and affection
G+G G6G6 G+G G6G6
Wondering where you are now
G+G D MajorD G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 G6G6 G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 G6G6
I?m wondering where you are now
G+G G6G6
Interjections and sad reflections
G+G G6G6
As the bullshit hit the wall
G+G G6G6
In the belly of the beast
C majorC G+G
In the sickness of the soul
E minorEm G+G
Of America the Small
E minorEm G+G D MajorD
Of America The Small
C majorC G+G
Looking back, back to front
C majorC D MajorD
Front to back again
C majorC G+G
Mesmerised by your perfect skies
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
Perhaps you're better off without me in the end
G+G D MajorD G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 G6G6 G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 G6G6 G+G Gmaj7Gmaj7 G6G6
Yeah, better off without me in the end
G+G G6G6
And if we meet in the shadowed street
G+G
What could you say
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G
Midnight birds have no words
D MajorD G+G
All traces blown away
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Traces blown away
C majorC G+G
Looking back, back to front
C majorC D MajorD
Front to back again
C majorC G+G
Hypnotised by your stunning lies
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
Perhaps I'm better off without you in the end
G+G D MajorD G+G
Perhaps I'm better off without you in the end
