  			Intro: A 

A                            B
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
    F#                           E 
The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids
A                                  B
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky
F#                            E  
And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
D                           A
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
    B                                E
The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
A                                     B
There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin
F#                               E  
The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in
A                                B
And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris
F#                                        E
And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see
D                             A
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show
B                                        E
Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
A                              B 
So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair
F#                                    E
The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air
D                               A
Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
B                                                 E
And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream
                    A
That ever drifted by
