INTRO: G Gmaj7 G6 (3x)  G Em7 Em   G Em7 G Em7 Em   (2x)

        G            G6
Looking back at my reflection
G                   G6      G
Ghost train whistle howled
           G6           G              G6
Back at my past with forgiveness and affection
G               G6      G    G6
Wondering where you are now
    G               D       G  Gmaj7 G6   G Gmaj7 G6
I'm wondering where you are now

     G                  G6
Interjections and sad reflections
       G                G6
As the bullshit hit the wall
       G            G6
In the belly of the beast
       C               G
In the sickness of the soul
        Em     G
Of America the Small
        Em     G     D
Of America The Small


              C       G
Looking back, back to front
               C    D
Front to back again
                   C       G
Mesmerised by your perfect skies
                              D             Em  C
Perhaps you're better off without me in the end
      G              D             G   Gmaj7 G6  G Gmaj7 G6  G Gmaj7 G6
Yeah, better off without me in the end


          G           G6
And if we meet in the shadowed street
G
What could you say
Em       G    Em       G
Midnight birds have no words
           D      G
All traces blown away
       D      G    D
Traces blown away


              C       G
Looking back, back to front
               C    D
Front to back again
                   C        G
Hypnotised by your stunning lies
                           D              Em  C
Perhaps I'm better off without you in the end
            G              D              G
Perhaps I'm better off without you in the end
