E A C#m B

[Verse 1]
E                               A
I was tryin' to find someone to love me
                       C#m
Then I did and she was dancin'
                        B
Across the room with the lights on her half-closed eyes
   C#m                 B         A
So then I took another drink and stumbled
                       C#m
Across to her and said somethin' ridiculous
      B
Like a man who'd refuse to shine

[Instrumental]
E A C#m B

[Chorus]
                        E
See I was looking for a still life
          A
Now it is stillborn
       C#m
In the endless glow, on a river of road
       B
I drove out of the eye of the storm

[Verse 2]
E                               A
I was trying to write a song so articulate
                               C#m
It could right my wrongs but I wrote it wrong
                           B
This is not it, it's just a field day for a therapist
                  C#m
(And what did you dream?)
                    A
That I wrote a song
                 B
(And what did it mean?)
              A
That I got it wrong, I don't know
N.C.
I don't know

[Instrumental]
E A C#m B

[Chorus]
                        E
See I was looking for a still life
          A
Now it is stillborn
       C#m
In the endless glow, on a river of road
       B
I drove out of the eye of the storm

[Bridge]
C#m                      B        A
Did I know it then? Did I cry out then?
                      A             B
By the blooming tree in Switzerland?

No I never really know
           B
No I never really know
              A
What I can do about it
             C#m                 B
If I lie down on the dirty ground
A                              A
Would you hear the angels sing?
B        A
Ooh-Oooh Ooooh

[Chorus 2x]
                        E
See I was looking for a still life
          A
Now it is stillborn
       C#m
In the endless glow, on a river of road
       B
I drove out of the eye of the storm

[Outro]
