THE FINAL CUT
F F/C C
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____
Bb add9 F
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time.
F F/C C
And far from flying high in clear blue skies___,
Bb add9 F
I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
Bb F|| Accoustic guitar
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive,|| begins here.
||
Bb F|| Listen to record
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes,|| for strumming rhytm.
||
Bb C Dm||
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,||
||
Gm7||
Dial the combination, open the priesthole||
||
C F||
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.|| Stop here.
Am F
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Am C
Making love to girls in magazines.
Bb Dm
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Gm7
Could anybody love him
/C F F/C C Bb add9 F
Or is it just a crazy dream___?
F C
And if I show you my dark side
Bb F
Will you still hold me tonight?
F C
And if I open my heart to you
Bb
And show you my weak side,
F
What would you do?
Bb F
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?|| Start again here.
||
Bb||
Would you take the children away||
||
F||
And leave me alone?||
||
Bb C||
And smile in reassurance||
||
Dm||
As you whisper down the phone,||
||
Gm7||
Would you send me packing,|| Stop here.
/C F
Or would you take me home?
Am F Am C Bb Dm Gm7 /C F

I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
