in ’89 , i was doin’ fine
C F G
in ’92 , the bloodhounds bent on you
C F

the wind is biting down your neck
G C

though your heart is all twisted
C
and every word seems fake
G C

C F G

leave that lonesome shack and let the waters rise
E D# G
otherwise you’re choking on your tears
G C

F
though you’re sick of yourself
C
and it’s too late to escape
G C
don’t get bent out of shape

C F G

C F G
launch your eyeball – like machines
C F
all your grievin’ will only make you ill
E D# G
if time won’t kill ya , something else will
G C
