Intro: F Bb x4
verse 1:
F
I woke up in the middle of the night with the words
F Cm
from a song in my head I’d forget if I didn’t write down.
Bb Am
I thought I saw someone standing in the shadows, so I ran
to the kitchen
G Bb
and I turned on the light and found a sharp pencil.
F
And I stood there naked in the light just writing
while the night burned
Cm
black through the windows and my wife was sleeping.
Bb Am
I never thought I’d find myself at all, much less
with a pencil for
G F
a weapon in the fifth dimension.
Verse 2:
F
And thinking our love would last is thinking that the part of our
F Cm
love that lasts is gonna be the good part.
Bb Am
It’s like throwing a rope from a boat to a man in the water who’s
G Bb
looking like he needs a little helping hand.
F
Says he’s not done drinking, “It’ll be a little while ’til the
Cm
ocean runs dry. Check back in a couple more months.”
Bb Am
Any legacy of mine’s gonna be sunshine and I leave it behind as
G F
a sign of my love for mankind. (Riff 1)

Verse 3:
F
And I don’t know what the penalty is for thinking you can do
Cm
what’s left of what’s never been done.
Bb Am
And if I never find out it’s either ‘cuz I did it or I tried and I
G Bb
failed, said, “Forget it” and walked into the sun.
F
Is that what the world is saying, that your rock & roll band can’t
Cm
last if you haven’t got a really good singer?
Bb Am
And you’re finding it tough to get yourself across, getting
lost in the
G F
white falcon fuzz if you are a good singer.
