Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G  D  Am  C  G

Verse:
                             D
So I wonder how she's doing
                               Am
I hate it when the rumours fly
                                              C
They give off such a strange sense of mission
                                G
Wing your helplessness on high

Verse:
                                    D
She would never run from strangers
                                     Am
She sang alone like a bell will toll
                                        C
Way above all the clang and the clatter
                              G
Out of fear of her demon soul__

Instrumental:
D  Am  C  G

Verse:
                                   D
Maybe none of this is my business
                                 Am
And none of what I hear is true
                                  C
I am far from the mint condition

Circulation's hard on you

Chorus:
G                      Bm7
Hold tight, hang tough
           Bm
Love's not enough
   Am                       C
To keep you off that stuff
     D
To save you
C                      Bm
Hold tight, hang tough
           Bm7
Love's not enough
   Am                       C
To keep you off that stuff
   D        G
To save you now

Instrumental:
   D      Am    C    G
Oh oh, Oh oh

Verse:
                                               D
He could always find the holes in the bottles
                          Am
Even with a blindfold on
                                 C
Never kept his seat on the wagon

Rolling off like a rolling stone

Verse:
G                              D
Blue chalk between his fingers
                          Am
Hustling a poolroom song
                                       C
He always kept a line for the singers

Pointing his cue, right from wrong

Chorus:
G                      Bm7
Hold tight, hang tough
           Bm
Love's not enough
   Am                       C
To keep you off that stuff
     D
To save you
C                      Bm
Hold tight, hang tough
           Bm7
Love's not enough
   Am                       C
To keep you off that stuff
   D        G
To save you now

Instrumental:
   D      Am     C    G
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh

Verse:
                            D

I hate it when the rumours fly
                                               C
They give off such a strange sense of mission
                               G
Wing your helplessness on high

                                   D
She would never run from strangers
                                     Am
She sang alone like a bell will toll
                                        C
Way above all the clang and the clatter
                              G
Out of fear of her demon soul__, oh oh oh
