     Know a man...       His face pulled and tense...             
          F  C        F    C              F    C     Am 
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds          
     F     C       C       F   F   F    C 
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax      
    F           C      G/F      F 
But he's always moving much too fast  
                         Am  Asus2  Am 
Said he'll see me on the flipside...  
F(riff)                Am    Asus2  Am 
of    this trip he's taken for a ride 
[Refrain]
F                F   C     F        C     F        C 
He's    been     takin'... too much on... there he goes  
         F   C       F   C   Am 
with his per-fect-ly un-kept clothes...  
F        C 
there he goes 
[Tab]
Use C chord formation for all of this and just move around it

He's yet to come back...        but I see his picture   
F F C               F  F  C            Am 
    It doesn't look the same up on the rack...  
   F  C  C 
we go way back   
  F                Am     Asus2 Am 
I wonder 'bout his insides...  
     F                     Am   Asus2   Am 
it's like his thoughts are too big for his size    
[Refrain]
F         F   C            F       C       F      C
He's been taken... Where?  I don't know... off he goes      
         F   C       F   C   Am 
with his per-fect-ly un-kept hope...   
F        C 
there he goes 
[Instrumentale]
[Repeat instrumental]
[Strophe]
          F   C   C      F   F  C 
And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned   
F F C           F  F  C              F          C     Am 
    Seems my preconceptions are what should-have  been  burned       
    F       C  C                        F  F  C 
For he still smiles...         and he's still strong  
F F C                 F   F   C                       F    C   Am 
    Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown  
[Refrain]
    F          C       F         C 
And now he's home..    and we're laughing   
F       C           F         C      F    C   Am 
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend           
        F     C   C         F   F   C 
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in   
F F C                    F   F   C                        F   C    Am 
    He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen  next  
       F     C   C       F  F  C 
Before his first step... he is off again
