G#m                        C#
Perhaps I'd rather be alone
                        F#                        D#m
See my friends in love, ones just a moment at a time
G#m                               C#
It's a wild abandoned world, my home
                 F#                              D#m
Nothing I do but think on what's becoming of my life
             G#m                 C#
You know I'm getting fat and old
                                 F#
The powers that be have killed in me
                         D#m
The power that you still hold
         G#m                  C#
While my love is growing cold
                          F#
The booze I said, I never leave it, even though I'm crumbling
D#m
I can cope
                    G#m
When are you coming down
                     C#
To the hole I call a home


[Chorus]
F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#m
And bless my soul
G#m
Come on and life me up
C#
To your place on high
F#
Take off your dress babe
D#m
Save my life


[Verse 2]
                   G#m                C#
Hindsight shine a wonder across my eye
                     F#                               D#m
I saw the roads down which I could have lived a dozen lives
G#m                          C#
I told myself that little lie
                     F#                            D#m
I could have made it work, if I just had a little time
                     G#m
When are you coming down
                     C#
To the hole I call a home


[Chorus]
F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#m
And bless my soul
G#m
Come on and life me up
C#
To your place on high
F#
Take off your dress babe
D#m
Save my life


[Bridge]
A#m     B               F#
Working hard to believe it
A#m     B     F#      D#m       C#      B
Looking for a way to go forward head on high
                  C#
Wouldn't hurt to try
                     G#m
When are you coming down
                     C#
To the hole I call a home


[Chorus]
F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#m
And bless my soul
G#m
Come on and life me up
C#
To your place on high
F#
Take off your dress babe
D#m
Save my life
