That's the way you know the story goes 
 Em                       D
Between euphoria and the afterglow
    G                       C
I don't believe in what the good book says
   Em                      D
I close my eyes and then I go to bed
      G                   C
With funny memories and a broken nose
 Em                 D
Lots of baggage and not much clothes
     G                    C
The shrink the gypsy the poet the priest
Em                 D
Everybody wants to be released
      C     C             D         D
And I know time was gonna change us
    C    C              D         C
So slow life would rearrange us
             G C
Lately it's alright
D               C    C
Down here with me
           G           D         C    C
People at midnight pretend their free
            G  C
Maybe it's all gone
D           C
I'm holding on
Em               C          D    D
Ooh it ain't so funny after all
Em               C          D
Ooh it ain't so funny after all we've
     C
been through
Em               C           D   D
Ooh it ain't so funny after all
G                            C
That's the way you know the story goes
Em                D
A box of flowers decompose
G                          C
And you and me you know we don't talk much
Em                            D
It's hard to handle something you can't touch
C           C              D        D
And I know time was gonna change us
            G  C
Lately it's alright
D              C    C
Down here with me
          G  C         D         C    C
People at midnight pretend their free
           G   C
Maybe it's all gone
D           C
I'm holding on
G            G
How was I to know
     D                C
The future's black as coal?
G            G      D
How was I to see if you were still with
C
me?

Down to the sea
