The final cut
0
(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)

(Am) (F) Start here.
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
(Am) (C)
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
(Bb)
I held the blade in trembling hands,
(Dm) (Gm7)
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang, Stop here.
(G) (C) (Bb) add9 (F)
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
