D7
Well I'm waitin' for something to take place 

Something to take me away from this race 
       G7
'Round city to city, town to town 
D7
Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown 

(Verse 2)
         G7                   D7
And that desperate, no count, desperado 
  F9                Bb9
A thief of love, my business is the street 
     D7                  A7      Ab7    G7
I be shakin' 'em down in old Colorado 
F9          E7             Eb7   D7
Texas she's nice, but DC's oh so sweet 
       F9          E7                       Eb7      D7
Steal away with me darlin' your lovin' just can't be beat 

(Chorus)
       F9   G                                   F   A
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what?
        G     F6                             D7
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move 
          F9       G
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for 
   F    A                  G    F6 E7          Eb7       D7
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you 

Skin it back 


(Verse 3)
D9              G7                 D7
Somethin' real, somethin' to feel 
  G7                       D9
I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess 
           G7                  D7    A7             Ab7     G7 
It's those rock and roll hours early graves without flowers 
F9             E7             Eb7      D7
Please, please darlin' put my mind at rest 
            F9     E7             Eb7     D7
I'm beggin' please darlin' put my mind at rest 

(Chorus)
       F9   G                                   F   A
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin' but so what?
        G     F6                             D7
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move 
          F9       G
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for 
   F    A                  G    F6 E7          Eb7       D7
So well now, I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it to you 

Skin it back 


D7            Db7  C7
Skin it back, tell it to you 
Skin it back, tell it to you 
Skin it back, tell it to you
