Intro :  
G - D - G - A  x2 

    G                        D 
And I don't know my way back home  
   G                    A   
My motorcycle's full of holes  
   G                         D  
And I can't find my way back in  
    G                      A 
I'm hungry and my shadow's thin 
    G                  D 
The road of anyone can change  
    G                     A 
I know that we won't meet again 
    G                   D 
The key was in the open lock  
    G                        A 
You'd see through any blanket fog  
       G                          D  
There's places is on the seabound roll  
     G                    A    
But I can't even find the boat  
    G                     D 
I don't know the way back home 
    G                   A  
My motorcycle's full of holes  
        G     D   G   A 
Full of holes  
        G     D   G   A 
Full of holes 

And someone turned the lights way down  
But shelter is what brought you round  
She said the outside is the in  
It's risky when you drink that gin  
The key was in the open joint You'd see from any vantage point 
And I can't find my way back in  
I'm hungry and my shadow's thin  
There's places is on the seabound roll  
But I can't even find the boat  
And I don't know my way back home  
My motorcycle's full of holes  
Full of holes  
Full of hole
