E                          A
Well I've been going for a couple of years
      E                            B7
And it seems that the answer it is coming quite clear
   E                          A
Oh I don't even know what I am doing here
          E
But I can drive with my eyes closed
    B7
And play by ear
          E
And I can sleep beneath the piano
          C
Just like that's my natural home
     B7               D           E
With all those keys I never feel alone

Yes I can sleep beneath the piano
           C
Just like that's my natural home
     B7               D           E
With all those keys I never feel alone
                  A
I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea
    E                     B7
She swore she didn't want nothing from me
           E                                 A
Now if you ever hear that line boy don't you dare believe
            E                                   B7
There ain't nothing but deep blues down in that bitter recipe
   E                               A
And when I left town she had those tears in her eyes
    E                    B7
But,  I ain't one for no emotional goodbyes
       E                            C
So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home
B7                         D                 E
Couple more drinks and you don't know she's alone
         E                            C
Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea
B7                         D                E
Couple more drinks and she forgot all about me
                        A
Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me
            E                    B7
It's like it ain't no kinda competition indeed
         E                           A    
They say "hey boy have you ever been stabbed before"
            E                                 B7
I said "not yet, I'm grabbin' my hat and just heading for the door"
E                          A
I made my way down to that rich side of town
      E                       B7
Where everybody's tossin' big words around
       E                         A
But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown
             E                       B7
I hear those whispers like rain just fallin' on down
       E                              C
Say he drink like a fish and he goin' fly like a stone
B7            D          E
Boy is better off left alone
       E                              C
Say he drink like a fish and he goin' fly like a stone
B7            D          E
Boy is better off left alone
