Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained

I can
Bbadd9
barely define the shape of this moment in
F
time.
And
F
far from flying high in clear blue

I'm
Bbadd9
spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I
F
hide.
Bb
If you negotiate the
F
minefield in the drive,
Bb
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold
F
electronic eyes,
Bb
And if you
C
make it past the shot
Dm
gun in the hall,
Gm7
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll
/C
tell you what's behind the wall.

There's a kid who had a big hallucina
F
tion

Making love to girls in maga
C
zines.
He
Bb
wonders if you're sleeping with your
Dm
new found faith.
Gm7
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a
/C
crazy dream_

And
F
if I show you my dark
C
side
Will you still hold
Bb
me to
F
night?
And
F
if I open my
C
heart to you
And show you my weak
Bb
side,
What would you
F
do?
Bb
Would you sell your story to Rolling
F
Stone?
Bb
Would you take the children away
F
And leave me alone?
And
Bb
smile in reas
C
surance
As you
Dm
whisper down the phone,
Gm7
Would you send me packing,
/C
Or would you take me
F
home?

Thought I oughta tear the curtain

just then the phone rang,
I never had the nerve to make the final
