The final cut

Pink Floyd

Tom: F

F                                          F/C   C
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____
      Bbadd9                                   F
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    F                                  F/C   C
And far from flying high in clear blue skies___,
    Bbadd9                                           F
I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
 
Bb                   F ::  
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive, ::  
 :: 
Bb                                   F :: 
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes, ::  
 :: 
Bb         C                    Dm :: 
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall, :: 
 :: 
Gm7 :: 
Dial the combination, open the priesthole :: 
 :: 
                    C                                 F :: 
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall. ::  
Am                                   F
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Am                          C
Making love to girls in magazines
   Bb                                   Dm
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Gm7
Could anybody love him
                / C          F      F/C  C  Bbadd9  F
Or is it just a crazy dream___?
    F                     C
And if I show you my dark side
                    Bb   F
Will you still hold me tonight?
    F            C
And if I open my heart to you
                     Bb
And show you my weak side,
               F
What would you do?
Bb                                   F
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? :: 
 :: 
Bb :: 
Would you take the children away :: 
 :: 
F :: 
And leave me alone? :: 
 :: 
    Bb           C :: 
And smile in reassurance :: 
 :: 
       Dm :: 
As you whisper down the phone, :: 
 :: 
Gm7 :: 
Would you send me packing, :: 
 
 C                   F
Or would you take me home?
 
Am  F  Am  C  Bb  Dm  Gm7  / C  F
