D   Bm                     Gbm          G
time, all the long red lines
                 D               Bm
that take control
                         Gbm            G
of all the smokelike streams
                        D          Bm
that flow into your dreams
                    Gbm            G
that big blue open sea
                    D          Bm
that can't be crossed
                    Gbm            G
that can't be climbed
                 D          Bm
just born between
                     Gbm            G
oh the two white lines
                            D          Bm
distant gods and faded signs
                          Gbm            G
of all those blinking lights
                             D          Bm
you had to pick the one tonight


 D   Bm                     Gbm          G
holes, dug by little moles
                 D               Bm
angry jealous spies
                         Gbm            G
got telephones for eyes
                        D          Bm
come to you as friends
                    Gbm            G
all those endless ends
                    D          Bm
that can't be tied
                    Gbm            G
oh they make me laugh
                 D          Bm
and always make me cry
                     Gbm            G
'til they drop like flies
                            D          Bm
and sink like polished stones
                          Gbm            G
of all the stones I throw
                             D          Bm
how does that old song go
                    Gbm            G
how does that old song go

 D   Bm                     Gbm          G
bands, those funny little plans
                D               Bm
that never work quite right...
