Intro: B7 Em
Em
A worried man with a worried mind
Am
No one in front of me and nothing behind
Em B7
There’s a woman on my lap and she’s drinkin’ champagne
Em
Got white skin, got assassin’s eyes
Am
I’m looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
Em B7 Em
I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train
C B7 Em
Standin’ on the gallows with my head in the noose
C B7
Any minute now I’m expectin’ all hell to break loose
Chorus:
Em
People are crazy and times are strange
Am
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
Em B7 Em
I used to care but, things have changed
Em Am Em Em
This place ain’t doin’ me any good
I’m in the wrong town I should’ve been in Hollywood
Just for a second there, I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancin’ lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ain’t no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he’s got anythin’ to prove
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through
Chorus
I’ve been walkin’ forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right the world will explode
I’m tryin’ to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can’t win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Puttin’ her in a wheelbarrow and wheelin’ her down the street
Chorus
I hurt easy I just don’t show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I’m in love with a woman that don’t even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy they jumped in a lake
I’m not that eager to make a mistake
