Verse 1:
              C#m7C#m7
Well I guess I'll treat her right
            Bsus4Bsus4      Asus2Asus2
I guess I'll treat her right more this time
         C#m7C#m7
I'll try not to rely
       Bsus4Bsus4       Asus2Asus2
Try not to rely on the perfect line
        C#m7C#m7
And I see no boundaries
        Bsus4Bsus4
Except for the ones I'm in
   Asus2Asus2
And I don't expect you to overcome them

For that's my job description

Verse 2:
   C#m7C#m7
In a world of players and private eyes
 Bsus4Bsus4
Unless you realize this
     Asus2Asus2
There's a whole lot you could miss
            C#m7C#m7
Do you know which one I am
       Bsus4Bsus4
I am the cigarette smoking man
Asus2Asus2
Once an hour I light the flower

And burn baby burn

Verse 3:
      C#m7C#m7
When is it your turn
           Bsus4Bsus4
Lord tell me when the sun goes down
     Asus2Asus2
Because I feel much better then anyway

Well I see much much better then anyway
    C#m7C#m7
Well I feel exposed
  Bsus4Bsus4
Although I feel at home
Asus2Asus2
Dressed as a black plastic rose

All flowing head shoulders knees and toes
  C#m7C#m7         Bsus4Bsus4      Asus2Asus2
We dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave
    C#m7C#m7         Bsus4Bsus4       Asus2Asus2
Oh´ We dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave

Chorus:
     C#m7C#m7 (C#m9C#m9)  Bsus4Bsus4 (Badd4) Asus2Asus2
Oh this childlike,   wildlife    is flooring me
     C#m7C#m7 (C#m9C#m9)  Bsus4Bsus4 (Badd4) Asus2Asus2
Oh this childlike,   wildlife    is flooring me

Verse 4:
       C#m7C#m7 Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7
Early in the morning
      Asus2Asus2
Late in the evening
Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7       Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7
Evening, we kinda get delirious
         Asus2Asus2 Bsus4Bsus4
Breaking from the seriousness
C#m7C#m7       Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7
I try not to get disoriented

Verse 5:
        Asus2Asus2  Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7
Having chewed too many up on my side
     Bsus4Bsus4    Asus2Asus2
Is it any wonder how I miss your smile
Bsus4Bsus4   C#m7C#m7   Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7
Is it any wonder, ohhh i,
     Asus2Asus2 Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7
is it any wonde--r oh where
     Bsus4Bsus4      Asus2Asus2
Is it any wonder, how I write
Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7     Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7
Pag---es layered upon pages
             Asus2Asus2     Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7
Which to no one else but me can be accounted for
         Bsus4Bsus4
For this moments sake

Verse 6:
      C#m7C#m7
I do not become me
  Asus2Asus2      Bsus4Bsus4   C#m7C#m7
For path tunnels or straightaways
     Bsus4Bsus4        C#m7C#m7
I do not watch as often as I should
  Asus2Asus2   Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7      Bsus4Bsus4
So instead I sketch my life a comfortable creature
Asus2Asus2       Bsus4Bsus4
Slow and beautifully----y
C#m7C#m7 Bsus4Bsus4 C#m7C#m7 Asus2Asus2 Bsus4Bsus4
y---------------------y
C#m7C#m7 Bsus4Bsus4    Asus2Asus2  Bsus4Bsus4
Sl----ow and beautifully-----y
    C#m7C#m7          Bsus4Bsus4   C#m7C#m7
Oh the smell and tastes of the past nights
            Asus2Asus2  Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7
Well they're still locked up in my gentle jaw

Verse 7:
       Bsus4Bsus4      C#m7C#m7
Not that I am wanting them to go
       Asus2Asus2  Bsus4Bsus4
Just that they   are
 C#m7C#m7       Bsus4Bsus4  C#m7C#m7
Ouou And I'm very much aware
         Asus2Asus2      Bsus4Bsus4     C#m7C#m7
The madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk
        Bsus4Bsus4
I'm very much aware
   Asus4Asus4
Of this madness when you talk

Chorus:
    C#m7C#m7    Bsus4Bsus4   C#m7C#m7  Asus2Asus2  Bsus2Bsus2
Oh this childlike, wildlife is  flooring me
    C#m7C#m7    Bsus4Bsus4   Asus2Asus2
Oh this childlike, wildlife is flooring me
