[Intro] E  A  E  B

E                          A
Well I've been going for a couple of years
       E                            B
And it seems that the answer, it is coming quite clear
    E                           A
Oh, I don't even know what I am doing here
          E                             B
But I can drive with my eyes closed and play by ear
          E
And I can sleep beneath the piano
          A
Just like that's my natural home
     E                B             E
With all those keys I never feel alone
          E
And I can sleep beneath the piano
          A
Just like that's my natural home
     E                B             E
With all those keys I never feel alone

E                   A
I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea
    E                     B
She swore she didn't want nothing from me
           E                                   A
Now if you ever hear that line, boy, don't you dare believe
                E                            B
Oh, there ain't nothing but you lose in that bitter recipe
E                              A
When I left town she had those tears in her eyes
E                    B
I ain't one for no emotional goodbye
       E                            A
So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home
E                       B                  E
Couple more drinks, she don't know she's alone
         E                            A
Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea
  E                       B                E
A couple more drinks, she forgot all about me

E                       A
Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me
          E                         B
It's like it ain't no kind of competition, indeed
           E                            A
They said: Hey boy, have you ever been stabbed before?
            E                                  B
I said: Not yet-- I'm grabbing my hat and just heading for the door
E                          A
I made my way down to that rich side of town
      E                       B
Where everybody's tossing big words around
       E                         A
But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown
             E                          B
I hear those whispers like rain just a' falling on down
       E                                A
Say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone
E      B                 E
Boy is better off left alone
             E                               A
They say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone
E      B                 E
Boy is better off left alone
