Verse 1:
say easily with me well i show affection
but it's creeping up creeping up on me in another direction
i love a ride and i know someday I'm gonna buy it so i try to ask no questions
but the weary one is often me well do you think it's obsession

Breakdown:
 D7C7D7
 the smoke will find you a choker that matches your coat
 C7
not fit to be tied
 D7C7
the mirror it makes it all clearer
 D7C7
as you stand alone and can see your behind
(scat)

Verse 2:
well they tried it and they like to say nobody would believe this
yes you tried it and you liked it but nobody could ever conceive of it
the way you stayed up locked away up keeping the flame for yourself
the way you played it out pushing the blame of reaping the fame for yourself

Bridge:
 F#m7E/F#
 oh, it's a it's a dead end it's ts ts ts ts ts dead end day
 D7C7
 it's a dead, a lonely day
 F#m7E/F#
 said it's it's a dead end and it's ts ts ts ts ts dead end thing
 D7C7
 it's a dead end, a lonely day
 D7C7F#maj
and it's a long way a long way down sing it again
 D7C7
and it's a long, long way
 Bm7
it's a long way down
 Emaj
 Long it's a long way-ee-ay

Verse 3 (Here just palm mute the base notes of the verse chords):
change is coming baby don't be startled lady
every once in awhile they do it again
you're gonna shake it, shake it you know you wanna take it
back to where you once belonged
back beneath the sheets and between the pillow cases
and the snake he races out and then he tangles into your hair
oh, funny the fruits you choose oh the time it takes the words you lose
and it all goes back to rotation over the back of your hand
said the back of your hand said the back of your hand
well the map is your hand it's the back of your hand
s-s-said the back of your hand you know the map is your hand
oh you better take pictures and remember what you can

 D7C7
cause it's a long, long way
 D7
and it's a long, long way-ee
 D7C7
and it's a long, long,  
 D7C7F#maj
mm it's a long, lo-ong way down
 D7C7Bm7
cause it's a long way, long way down
 EmajF#m7
 oooh it's a long ooo-oo-ooh

h = hammer
p = pull
