C
There was a time I'd lay awake
C                              F
Thinking of birthday cake or snow
G                 C      F
Now the music's getting old
F                    G     C       F
The night is just a sigh, lead to slow
Dm                        G
Anyway you said you wanna go, oh

[Chorus 1]
F                 G           C        F
I guess it's the time, we can go to my house
F             G                C          F
I'll take you in, and you can stare at my mouth
  C       C/B    Am7    G          F             C
I used to be a talker, but that's all behind me now

[Verse 2]
 C
They fly to Lotus Lane
 C                               F
Old folks in bowling shirts and gray
  G                    C       F
Playing rummy on the fold-out tray
F            G                    C             F
He does his well-known bit about seat belt demonstration
   Dm                     G
And I, I'm somewhere far away
   Dm                    G
Watching little lights, all along the beltway

[Chorus 2]
 F            G
Those Indica blues
     C             F
You pretend to be proud
 F              G
This is how it comes
            C            F
You either swim, or get out
   C      C/B     Am7    G          F             C
I used to be a fighter, but that's all behind me now

[Bridge]
 Dm                     G
It's a long way to the end
 Dm                         G
And I got my quarters here, up on this fence
 Dm                         G
But I can feel the breezes closing in

[Chorus 3]
 F                     G     C          F
Let's act like you've seen sweat on my brow
 F                  G        C        F
You'll be fighting fire and I'll be around
   C      C/B    Am7     G          F
I used to be a dreamer, but that's all behind me
