BLUE CHALK

by John Gorka

>From "Between Five And Seven"

C

So I wonder how she's doing      

G

I hate it when the rumors fly      

Dm       Am

They give off such a strange sense of mission      

F    G  

Wing your helplessness on high      

C

But she would never run from strangers      

G

She sang alone like a bell will toll      

Dm       Am

Way above the clang and the clatter      

F G

Out of fear of her demon soul

[repeat 4 bars instrumental   line=bar ]      

C

Maybe none of this is my business      

G

And none of what I hear is true        

Dm       Am

I am far from mint condition      

F       G    

Circulation's hard on you

CHORUS      

C

Hold tight, hang tough      

G

Love's not enough   

Dm Am

To keep you off that stuff      

F        G

To save you        

F

Hold tight, hang tough      

Am7

Love's not enough   

Dm      Am

To keep you off that stuff   

    F    G   C

To save you now      

C

He could always find the holes in the bottles      

G

Even with a blindfold on      

Dm        Am

Never kept his seat on the wagon      

F    G

Rolling off like a rolling stone      

C

Blue chalk between his fingers      

G

Hustling a poolroom song      

Dm Am

He always kept a line for the singers      

F G

Pointing his cue right from wrong

[CHORUS]

{Repeat first verse & chorus}
