1. The coldest shoulder cast in metal,           frozen to the bone,

A                                                        A7                     

    to rely on hook, line and sinker, what a sinker,

                            G

    sinking like a stone, you'd be better off alone.

 

             A                                     - A7

2. She saw me on the television           underneath the sun,

A                                                                A7                   

    thought that I was warm like a mother, lover, brother,

                                   G                                      B7     - C

  G                                                    - A

nothing more will make me better.

 

        A                                            - A7

3. I met her on a Monday and my           heart did nothing new,

A                                                                      A7                   

    seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic,

                       G

    mystical guru, me, I haven't got a clue.

 

             A                                     - A7

4. But floating on a magic carpet          high above the earth,

A                                                                A7                   

    you can see the world like a Buddha, bread and Buddha,

                                G                                                 B7     - C

    you don't belong to me, you don't belong to anyone.

A                                                                      G

    Your reputation lies not in your eyes, but those who dare,

D                                                                                        E

    will bite the hand that feeds, when it don't meet your needs,

                                            G                               A     ~ ~

    when you got blood to bleed, you got a life to lead.

 

                 D

    In the flood with my blood,

                                        B7

    I can hold you in the flood with my blood.
