Intro: G C G
G C G
[Verso 1]
G C G
For a chemical imbalance, you sure know how to ride a train
G C D7
Your revolution is a deathbed, and the music is your maid
G C Am
When someone comes a knocking with a needle on a tray
G
Only your lonesome lies beside you
C G
For you told me not to stay
G
You are somebody's baby
C G
Some mother held you near
G C D7
No it's not important, they're just pretty words, my dear
G C Am
There is no distraction that can make me disappear
G
No there's nothing that won't remind you
C G
I will always be right here
[Refrão]
C C
And you spit the blood back, spit the blood back
G D7
Baby, I'm amazed that you're alright
C G Am G
Oh, so long prison boy, I won't be home with you tonight
Interlúdio: G
[Verso 2]
G C G
We're both very sick, our muscles all worn down
G C D7
It's as if we are one-hundred, I won't still be around
G C Am
Because I've fallen, yes I've fallen right into the love I found
G
Long before I reach one-hundred
C G
I'll have fallen to the ground
G
And for generations
C G
They'll romance us, make us more
G C D7
Or much less than ever was before, the Chelsea and the floor
G C Am
Make us stand before the masses like two speakers for the poor
G
When there was no revolution
C G
Nothing we were fighting for
[Refrão]
C C
And you spit the blood back, spit the blood back
G D7
Baby, I'm amazed that you're alright
C G Am
Oh, so long prison boy, I won't be home
Am
I won't be home
Am G Am D7
I won't be home with you tonight
[Ponte]
C Em D7
And you can call the service bell
C Em D7
When we stay at the Chelsea hotel
C Em D7
And I'll stay out of my own hell
Final:

Oh, so long prison boy, I won't be home
Am
I won't be home
Am G Am D7
I won't be home with you tonight
G
