INTRO:
D/F# G A11 (x4)
VERSE 1:
D/F# G A11
Is that smile for me
D/F# G A11
Or did you come by it honestly
D/F# G A11
Can I show you around
D/F# G A11
Can I help you tear your fences down
G D/F#
Cos' I know you foster few illusions
A11 D/F#
You suffer no fools
G D/F# A11
And you don't leave much to chance
G D/F#
But you're out past the breakers
A11 D/F#
And you're drifting fast
G A11
I can see it at a glance
CHORUS:
G D A11 D
You've been a long time locked inside
G D A11 D
A long time on a lonely ride
G D A11 D
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
G D/F# A11
Don't just waste away
G D/F# A11
Don't just waste away
BRIDGE (as for intro)
VERSE 2:
Is that smile for me
Have you kept it hidden consciously
Like an old-time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
I've got no answers
No magic cures
And I've got no plans
But I know the darkness
That haunts your eyes
And I know those trembling hands
