C F C Am
Know a man... His face seems pulled and tense...
F C F C F C Am
Like he's riding on a mototbike... in the strongest winds...
F C F C
So I Approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...
F C F C Am
But he's always moving much too fast...

F Am F Am
Said he'll see me in the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride...
F C F C F C
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
F C F C Am F C
With his perfectly... unkept clothes.... there he goes...

F C F C
He's yet to come back... but I see his picture...
F C F C Am F C
Doesn't look the same up on the rack... We go way back...


F Am F Am
I wonder bout his insides... it's like his thought are too big for his size
F C F C F C
He's been takin'... Where? I don't know... off he goes
F C F C Am F C
With his perfectly... unkept hope.... there he goes...

F C F C
And now I rub my eyes.. for he has returned
F C F C F C Am
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
F C F C
For he still smiles... and he's still strong...
F C F C F C Am
Nothing's changed but the surronding bullshit... that has grown...

F C F C
And now he's home and we're laughing...
F C F C F C Am
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend...

F C F C
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in...
F C F C F C Am
He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to happen next...

F C F C
Before his first step... he is off again...
