C         G       D   
I've been working overtime 
G          D        C 
And I can't get you off my mind 
C      G       D 
I sleep in the pouring rain 
G         D        C 
When will you come home again?

Spinnin' like a Gravitron

C          G      D  
I'm hanging on to the end of this rope 
G         D          C 
Somewhere on the outskirts of hope 
C       G        D  
Life without you not around 
G       D      C 
Another kid in Lonely Town 
And I'm

    D              Em               C       G 
Now I'm standing outside your house 
        D          Em 
And I'm wondering, Baby 
C                            G 
Do you hear the phone when I call? 
                             D 
Do you fill the void when I fall? 
                              Em 
Do you hear the crack when I break? 
C                             G  
Did you lock the door when it shut? 
                               D 
Can you see the knife when it cut? 
                              Em 
Do you keep your ear to the ground?
