Capo 3
Tonality
Intro: B7EmEm
A worried man with a worried mind
Am
No one in front of me and nothing behind
EmB7
Thereʼs a woman on my lap and sheʼs drinkinʼ champagne
Em
Got white skin, got assassinʼs eyes
Am
Iʼm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
EmB7Em
Iʼm well dressed, waiting on the last train
CB7Em
Standinʼ on the gallows with my head in the noose
CB7
Any minute now Iʼm expectinʼ all hell to break loose
Chorus:
Em
People are crazy and times are strange
Am
Iʼm locked in tight, Iʼm out of range
EmB7Em
I used to care but, things have changed
EmAmEmEm
This place ainʼt doinʼ me any good
Iʼm in the wrong town I shouldʼve been in Hollywood
Just for a second there, I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancinʼ lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ainʼt no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think heʼs got anythinʼ to prove
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Donʼt get up gentlemen, Iʼm only passing through
Chorus.
Iʼve been walkinʼ forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right the world will explode
Iʼm tryinʼ 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 canʼt win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Puttinʼ her in a wheelbarrow and wheelinʼ her down the street
Chorus.
I hurt easy I just donʼt 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
Iʼm in love with a woman that donʼt even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy they jumped in a lake
Iʼm not that eager to make a mistake
