Verse 1:
                            C#m7
Well I guess I'll treat her right
                       Bsus4            Asus2
I guess I'll treat her right more this time
                  C#m7
I'll try not to rely
             Bsus4              Asus2
Try not to rely on the perfect line
               C#m7
And I see no boundaries
               Bsus4
Except for the ones I'm in
      Asus2
And I don't expect you to overcome them

For that's my job description

Verse 2:
      C#m7
In a world of players and private eyes
  Bsus4
Unless you realize this
          Asus2
There's a whole lot you could miss
                        C#m7
Do you know which one I am
              Bsus4
I am the cigarette smoking man
Asus2
Once an hour I light the flower

And burn baby burn

Verse 3:
            C#m7
When is it your turn
                      Bsus4
Lord tell me when the sun goes down
          Asus2
Because I feel much better then anyway

Well I see much much better then anyway
        C#m7
Well I feel exposed
    Bsus4
Although I feel at home
Asus2
Dressed as a black plastic rose

All flowing head shoulders knees and toes
   C#m7                  Bsus4            Asus2
We dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave
        C#m7                 Bsus4              Asus2
Oh´ We dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave

Chorus:
          C#m7 (C#m9)   Bsus4 (Badd4)  Asus2
Oh this childlike,     wildlife       is flooring me
          C#m7 (C#m9)   Bsus4 (Badd4)  Asus2
Oh this childlike,     wildlife       is flooring me

Interlude:
C#m7  Bsus4  C#m7  Asus2  Bsus4

Verse 4:
             C#m7  Bsus4  C#m7
Early in the morning
            Asus2
Late in the evening
Bsus4 C#m7             Bsus4  C#m7
Evening, we kinda get delirious
                  Asus2 Bsus4
Breaking from the seriousness
C#m7              Bsus4    C#m7
I try not to get disoriented

Verse 5:
                Asus2   Bsus4   C#m7
Having chewed too many up on my side
          Bsus4        Asus2
Is it any wonder how I miss your smile
Bsus4     C#m7     Bsus4 C#m7
Is it any wonder, ohhh i,
          Asus2  Bsus4    C#m7
is it any wonde--r oh where
          Bsus4            Asus2
Is it any wonder, how I write
Bsus4 C#m7         Bsus4 C#m7
Pag---es layered upon pages
                         Asus2         Bsus4 C#m7
Which to no one else but me can be accounted for
                 Bsus4
For this moments sake

Verse 6:
            C#m7
I do not become me
    Asus2           Bsus4      C#m7
For path tunnels or straightaways
         Bsus4               C#m7
I do not watch as often as I should
   Asus2     Bsus4   C#m7           Bsus4
So instead I sketch my life a comfortable creature
Asus2             Bsus4
Slow and beautifully----y
C#m7 Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2 Bsus4
y---------------------y
C#m7  Bsus4        Asus2   Bsus4
Sl----ow and beautifully-----y
       C#m7                    Bsus4     C#m7
Oh the smell and tastes of the past nights
                        Asus2    Bsus4    C#m7
Well they're still locked up in my gentle jaw

Verse 7:
              Bsus4            C#m7
Not that I am wanting them to go
             Asus2   Bsus4
Just that they     are
  C#m7             Bsus4   C#m7
Ouou And I'm very much aware
                 Asus2            Bsus4          C#m7
The madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk
               Bsus4
I'm very much aware
      Asus4
Of this madness when you talk

Chorus:
        C#m7       Bsus4      C#m7   Asus2   Bsus2
Oh this childlike, wildlife is   flooring me
        C#m7       Bsus4      Asus2
Oh this childlike, wildlife is flooring me
