Intro: G C G
G
The end of the line
C
A calamity at first sight
Am
Now the man in me don't walk right
D D7
Just like a pebble in my shoe
G C G
But you were a wanderer;
C
And a competent one at that
Am
So it caught me by surprise this venerability
D
That I never thought I had
Em
But you tried so hard to say oh
C G
everything you wanted to
Am G D
But with an aching tongue-
Am G D
Oh you spat out at the world now not of words
D7 C G
but at the pearl that had belonged to her
C G
So I went back to the country
C G
where the air was mild and sweet
Am
I was in need of some reprieve and intermission
D
Oh to gather up my things and to get back upon my feet
C G
But I cant say I've got the answers
C G
For it's always shades of grey
Am
But there's a warmth in the air in mid-September
D
And its enough across my face just to
C G C G
Remind me that I'm well upon my way
G
And I feel the ease
C
Man I feel it tingle in my toes
Am
How funny are the way that these memories do grow
D
Into some old french film in black and white
G C-G
And I know the ropes
C
Because you see I've said goodbye to some lovers
Am
Fleshed out and tied to each other
D
By that invisible string it tangles me
Em
And when that morning came up fast well it
C G
Broke the fever square upon its back
Am G D
and finally I felt just like I should
Am G
oh the blood under my fingers warmed
D C G
the clearing of two month storm now done...
C G
So I went back to the country
C G
where the air's now bitter sweet
Am
as subtle is the change of my indifference
D
Oh but strange is how this solitude
can beat a man complete
C G
and I can't wait 'till the morning;
C G
be it sunshine, hail or snow
Am
see I do not believe in superstition
D
But somewhere amongst this mess
C G C G
I may have found some happiness to call my own
Am D7
Oh and time is a healer
C G
time is a friend of mine
Am D7
in time if you feel it
C G
would you be a friend of mine
C
oh I hope you're a friend of mine
