C     F/C        F     Am  C
Know a man, his face seemed pulled and tense
     F C    F  C      F   C  Am  C
Like he's riding on a motorbike, in the strongest winds
    F      C         F      C
So I approach with tact; suggest that he should relax
  F      C   F  C  Am
But he's always moving much too fast

F            Am    F         Am     F
Said he'll see me on the flipside, on this trip he's taken for a ride
     C   F     C  F    C
He's been taking, too much on, there he goes
     F   C  F C   Am    F    C
with his perfectly, unkempt clothes; there he goes

F C 4x

   F      C  F/C           F/C
He's yet to come back, but I see his picture
         F    C   Am  F     C  F
Doesn't look the same up on the rack, we go way back

         Am      F          Am       F
I wonder bout his insides, it's like his thought are too big for his size
     C       F    C   F   C
He's been taking; where I don't know; off he goes
     F   C  F C  Am   F    C
with his perfectly, unkept hopes; there he goes

F C 4x

     F   C      F   C   F/C
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
        F         C        Am   F
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
       C      F     C   F/C
For he still smiles; and he's still strong
             F      C     F  C  Am
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit; that has grown

  F    C  F     C
And now he's home and we're laughing
F    C   F    C  F     C  Am   F
Like we always did, my same old, same old friend,
          C       F      C F/C
until a quarter to ten, I saw the strain creep in

              F     C        F C  Am  F
He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to happen next;
         C   F     C
before his first step, he is off again

Solo
