If I could hold on to just one thought for long enough to know
B                                     F#m7            E
Why my mind is moving so fast and the conversation is slow
A                                                    E
Burn off all the fog and let the sun through to the snow
B                          
Let me see your face again
    A             E           /
 before I have to go.

       B                                   F#m7         E
I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night
  B                                F#m7                E
I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight
      A                                                  E
And I saw you in my nightmares, but I'll see you in my dreams
    B                                    
And I might live a thousand years before 
A                E           /
I know what that means

Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
B                                      F#m7           E
His life was filled with parasites and countless idle threats
   A                                          E
He trusted in a woman and on her he made his bets
