Capo on second fret (played as if in G, which I guess means it's actually
in B-flat)

G C
Spend your life ... search the world over
Emin D
Jump head first into your savage disorder
G C
Scratch your head after every wrong choice
Emin D
Can lose your life trying to find your voice
G C
On the front porch when the storm came through
Emin D
took down some trees... tore off some roofs
G C
Exposed all my grubby little roots
Emin D
hurricane force ... and the living proof
(Chorus)
C D
Fist too tight ... my tongue too loose
G D/F# Emin Emin7
Up on my soap box with my poor excuse
C Amin Amin7 G
Everybody's got their version ... of the truth
(and it follows the same pattern for the next verse...)
In this record business where there's nothing to regret
Only the sales projections and figures not met
I hear you did something for me long ago
Now what was your name again ... and how much do I owe?
