C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
I was born in the Summer of Sam -- 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Smaller and sooner than planned -- 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
In the spitting image of a man 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Raised by wolves on the fat of the land. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Clear of romance, beauty, and damned 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Tomorrow will come if she can. 


C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Just want a woman who can walk on a wire 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
With a trembling glass in her hand. 

D7/F#             C/G                   G 
Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls, 
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F# 
Down the valley deeper still it goes; 

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Got my weapons out, I'm laying low 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
On this end of the telescope. 

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Alone, you ramble the whole of the world 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Through black-water jungles for bliss. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
It's feast or famine, you eat what you kill 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
There's no need to bring God into this. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
My heart is heavy and pressed to the bone, 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Some people too heavy to hold. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Salutations, take me as I am -- 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
You can have me, or leave me alone. 
D7/F#              C/G                  G 
Sun-kissed lemons in the graveyard below 
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F# 
Here in death you see new adventures grow. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
I see you at last but mostly ghost, 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
On this end of the telescope.

bridge 

Em                       G 
This will not be easy 
Am/F# 
Word's out the doctor is not coming in 
Em                                     G 
This genie is too angry to go back 
 

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Closer than ever, and covered in birds 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
A bone-colored moon fills the west. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Now, throats will be slashed, and flags will unfurl 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
As time will divide us in gangs. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Now, years of progress digging the sand 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
Companions we made didn't last. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
Now, lousy lovers do well with their hands 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
But I'll reach you like nobody can. 
D7/F#              C/G                  G 
Now, slow and easy, you let your paddle go 
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F# 
Down a the bottom there is more hell to row. 
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G 
I see clear at last: I love, I loathe, 
C/G             D7/F#                      G 
On this end of the telescope.
