F C
 
F C           F C                    Am
 Know a man... His  face pulled and tense...
         F C                             G/F  Asus2 Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest  winds
      F           C                    F           C
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax
   F           C      G/F      F
But he's always moving much too fast
                            Am Asus2 Am                          Asus2 Am  
Said he'll see me on the flipside...      of this trip he's taken for a ride
 
         F C       F        C     F      C
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
           F   C  G/F Asus2 Am         F        C
with his perfectly un--kept  clothes... there he goes

F C Am
 
    F           C     F C
He's yet to come back... but I see his picture
F C                F    C         Am         F      C
 Doesn't look the same up on the rack... we go way back
F                    Am Asus2  Am                                Asus2   Am
I wonder 'bout his insides... it's like his thoughts are too big for his size
 
         F C              F       C       F      C
He's been taken... Where?  I don't know... off he goes
           F   C  G/F Asus2 Am      F        C
with his perfectly un--kept  hope... there he goes
 
[repeat chorus riff]
 
         F      C              F     C
And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned
F C           F     C              G/F         Asus2 Am
 Seems my preconceptions are what should have been  burned
   F        C  
For he still smiles... and he's still smiling
F C                            F        C           G/F  Asus2 Am
 Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has   grown
 
F            C    F         C
And now he's home and we're laughing
F              C      F       C               Am
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend
       F          C                F            C
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in
F C                          F         C                G/F Asus2 Am
 He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen   next
          F     C       F         C
Before his first step... he is off again
 
 
 
         Am (strum Am a few times)
E|---------0-          
B|---------1-          
G|---------2- x 2      
D|-----3-2-2-          
A|---3-----0-          
E|-1---------          
 
then
          F C C
E|---------1-0-0-
B|---------1-1-1-
G|-------2-2-0-0-
D|-----3---3-2-2-
A|---3-----3-3-3-
E|-1-------1-----
 
Then the rest of the song is basically just a combination
or F, C and Am chords. A classic "3 chord"-er.
 
         
There's also this little bit, or something similar.
