This is the day of the expanding man
C7M A#13 G13 D9
That shape is my shade there where I used to stand
E
It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass
E
At ramblers, wild gamblers- That's all in the past
C7M A#13 G13 F13
You call me a fool you say it's a crazy scheme
E
This one's for real I already bought the dream
E
So useless to ask me why
E
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
E
I'll make it this time- I'm ready to cross that fine line
E
I'll Learn to work the saxophone and I play just what I feel
E
Drink scotch whiskey all night long
E
And die behind the wheel
E
They got a name for the winners in the world
E
I want a name when I lose
E
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
A
My back to the wall a victim of laughing chance
This is for me the essence of true romance
E
