Tom: E 

(E  G D  D C   C  D D) 

Hey turn around man I’m gonna take you downtown 
You wanna grab the sac go ahead and do it 
My fear and doubt is set in place by a lie 
I glorify you that’s the only way of life yeah 

I take the shake and slowly surely dissipating 
You’re the wrinkles on my face 
They will run my old age 
I try to understand you throwing men away 
All your talent down the drain 
And it just makes perfect sense 

When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back 
Yeah your future has me move on from my darkness 
Don’t give in 
It’s not real 
You don’t have a choice 
Choose to feel 

Your words insane that old me if I was left drained 
I could understand all your thorny logic 
I was indifferent I saw the first time come on back 
Come on back come on back again your life 

And then it’s hard when the local keeps on moving 
Got some money and some change 
Just to wait for my train 
I tried to stop me now I’m locked and engaged 
Come on back 
Come on back come on back and leave your pain 

When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back 
Yeah your future has me move on from my darkness 
Don’t give in 
It’s not real 
You don’t have a choice 
Choose to feel 

We fell in lane in a hotel room with your bible tied up 
As you lacked enough food 
With stars shaking you all in your bed 
Through eleven ??? 
We dragged you out and threw you into our car 
Thrust the pedal to the floor ?? 
They brought you in and throw those clothes away 
?? now my service is delayed 

There are consequences for your actions
