(g) a  P.M.  x 4  (1,2: ! 3: r)  puis  (g) a  P.M.  x 4

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?                              (c)

I opened up the doors when it was cold outside                       w/ riff h
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?

  F♯5                               A5
  Yeah I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
    F♯5                            A5
  I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
      F♯5                   G5 F#5 E5
  But oh the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
         (b)               G5 F#5 E5
  Well I guess it never is, it's these prejudiced illusions
                                          G5 G5
  That pump the blood to the heart of the biz

(g) a  P.M.  x 4  w/ solo 1

You know I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me
Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
                                      c D5  c D5  G5 G5
When we both know it takes time to forgive, give

    a         g♯   g      f♯      f  / e♭   d  c♯  c    a c~
    Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
    You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no
    You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
          a       g♯      g     f♯   F♯5      F5       E5         C5   c
    Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

               a                       aaaaaa                              aaaaaa
      Cause my baby's got a locomotive        my baby's gone off the track
                                 aaaaaa                                      aaa
      My baby's got a locomotive        ya got ta peel the bitch off my back
      D  A      D     A aaaa     D A D A aaaa
      I know it looks like I'm insane
      D      A      D    A aaaa     D A C  \
      Take a closer look I'm not to blame, no

(g) a  P.M.  x 4  w/ solo 2

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again

Better tame that boy cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh, you's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can

  Ow, you can use your illusion, let it take you where it may             w/ tierces
  We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away
  Me I'm just here hangin' on, it's my only place to stay
  At least for now anyway, I've worked too hard for my illusions
  Just to throw them all away

(g) a  P.M.  x 4  w/ solo 3

I'm takin' time for quiet consolation
In passin' by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say

Callin' off the dogs a simple choice is made
Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page, age

    Kindness is a treasure and it's one to me you've seldom shown
    So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known
    Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
    Cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace

      Refrain

(descente tierces)  ...  \

    Affection is a blessing, can you find it in your torrid heart?
    I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart
    Yeah I know it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste
    But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
        but love like time's got it's own plans

      Refrain  (pas fin)

      Yeah                                                           (continu)
      If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane
