ok, this one's not too tough... basically three chords, though there are
some nice variations you can throw in if you want- i added in Am
G/F-Asus2-Am pattern that can just be left as F-C-Am if you prefer...
and instead of playing Fs, you can play Csus4 (11033x)... that sounds
pretty good, too.

F C

F  CKnow a man..F. CHis  face pulled and Amtense...
Like he's FriCding on a motorbike... in the G/FstronAsus2gest  Amwinds
So I apFproach with Ctact... suggest that Fhe should reClax
But Fhe's always Cmoving G/Fmuch too Ffast
Said he'll see me on the flipAmsidAsus2e...  Am   of this trip he's taken Asus2for a Amride

He's been FtaCkin'... Ftoo much Con... Foff he Cgoes
with his perFfectCly G/Fun--Asus2kept  Amclothes... Fthere he Cgoes

F C Am

He's Fyet to come Cback..F. Cbut I see his picture
F  CDoesn't look the Fsame Cup on the Amrack... we Fgo way Cback
FI wonder 'bout his inAmsidAsus2es... iAmt's like his thoughts are too big Asus2for his Amsize

He's been FtaCken... Where?  FI don't Cknow... Foff he Cgoes
with his perFfectCly G/Fun--Asus2kept  Amhope... Fthere he Cgoes

[repeat chorus riff]

And now I Frub my Ceyes... for he Fhas reCturned
F  CSeems my preFconcepCtions are what G/Fshould have Asus2been  Amburned
For Fhe still Csmiles... and he's still smiling
F  CNothing's changed but the surFrounding Cbullshit... G/Fthat Asus2has  Amgrown

FAnd now he's Chome Fand we're Claughing
FLike we always Cdid... Fmy same Cold... same old Amfriend
Until a Fquarter to Cten... I saw the Fstrain creep Cin
F  CHe seemed distracted and I Fknow just Cwhat is going to G/Fhap-Asus2pen  Amnext
Before his Ffirst Cstep... Fhe is off Cagain

G|-------2-2-0-0-
D|-----3---3-2-2-

Then the rest of the song is basically just a combination
or F, C and Am chords. A classic "3 chord"-er.


There's also this little bit, or something similar.

Lyrics:Verse
CKnow a man F   CHis face seems Fpulled and Amtense
like hes FridingC on a FmotorCbike in the FstronCgest Amwinds
So IF approach with CtactF suggest Che should relax
Ambut hes always Fmoving Gmuch too faFst
(at the end of the verse there is no chord but try C for fun)
Chorus 1
Am Intro picking Am
Said hell see me on the flip side of his trip hes taken for a ride
Intro picking F C F C F C
hes been taken too much on off he goes
with his perfectly FunCkept Amclothes Fthere he Cgoes

Verse 2( same chords as in verse 1 I think)

Hes yet to come back but I see his picture
doesn't look the same up on the rack we go way back

Chorus 2( chords are same as chorus 1)

I wonder bout his insides its like his thoughts are too big for his size
hes been take where? T don't know off he goes
withe his perefectly unkept hope there he goes

and now I rub my eyes for he has returned
seems my preconception are what should have been burned
for he still smiles and hes still strong
nothing's chaned but the surronding bullshit that has grown

And now hes home and were laughing
like we always did my same old same old friend

Until a quarter to ten i see the strain creep in
He seems ditacted and i know just what going to happen next
before his first step he is off again

I havent done the rest because it repeats itself i think.Comments e-mail me at.
