Tom: C

Introdução:  C   Am   F   Em   G  

     C 
I see a drug bust in your eyes
                     F                               C 
There are bruises on your thighs
                 F                                   C                           F           Am               G 
I can tell you're trying to hide, all the darkness in your mind
         C 
You got saw dust on your toes
                     F                                     C 
From that sports bar down the road
                     F                                     C                       F           Am           G 
You have beer glass in your feet, you say kiss me on the cheek
           C 
Some people get paid to talk
             F                                   C 
Some people get paid to listen
             F                             C                       F           Am             G 
Some people buy a ticket and can't wait for intermission
           C 
Just like some will love you blindly
             F                                     C 
Some will love you with conditions
             F                                       C                                   F       Am       G 
Some will love you like an unborn child loves family tradition
       C 
Now she is tainted by the syringe
                     F                                   C 
Trying to rhyme a word with orange
                 F                             C                                 F       Am     G 
I'm a cheap and ugly sinner, to who soul love is foreign
                             F 
So if you're sideways
                                         C 
And if you wanna go my way
                                         G 
Before a meteoric shower
                                                               C 
Decides the earth should be devoured
                                                               F 
Whether you're locked up in a tower
                                                       C 
Or you're charging by the hour
                                                       G 
In mama's eyes you are a flower
                                                                         C 
Forget the after taste if life got sour
                                                       F 
Will you finish what you started
                                                       C 
Travel the seas you never parted
                                                     G 
Remember things you disregarded
                                                 C 
Communicate with the departed
                                                                               F 
Believe in things you thought weren't founded
                                                 C 
Prepare to always be astounded
                                                                     G 
Or keep your dreams and visions grounded
                                                         C 
It took a while but then I found it.
     C 
No one inspired you in time
                 F                               C 
So you left your love behind
               F                                 C                                     F             Am           G 
In a world that can discourage one who is young and full of courage
       C 
You said you'd start at the bottom
         F                                             C 
But instead you start at the top
         F                                         C                                       F         Am               G 
Be careful what you wish for because on your lap it might just drop
       C 
So it's a lonely life at the bottom
               F                                   C 
Can be lonely too at the top
               F                                   C                         F               Am           G 
Make sure your heart is singing right until the day it stops
         C 
They'll say dream but what they mean
       F                               C 
Is be specific or obscene
           F                                 C                               F                 Am             G 
It's time to find some time to fail at what makes you most happy
         C 
Sometimes you concentrate on lovers
         F                                   C 
To forget everything else
         F                                   C                     F             Am           G 
Sometimes you hate each other to forget you hate yourself
                             F 
So if you're sideways
                                             C 
And if you wanna come my way
                                         G 
Before a meteoric shower
                                                               C 
Decides the earth should be devoured
                                                                 F 
Whether you're locked up in the tower
                                                             C 
Or if you charge 'em by the hour
                                                           G 
To me you'll always be a flower
                                                                         C 
Forget the after taste if life got sour
                                                     F 
Will you finish what you started
                                                                 C 
Before you celebrate with a cigar lit
                                                     G 
Remember things you disregarded
                                                 C 
Communicate with the departed
                                                 F 
Prepare to always be astounded
                                                                               C 
Believe in things you thought weren't founded
                                                                             G 
Don't keep those dreams and visions grounded
                                                       C 
It took a while but now I found it.
