Verse 1
Em
Am
Can't be with the one you love,
then love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, red stripe,
I pull the lid
Em
Her touch tickles,
Am
especially when she's gentle
But I don't hear her words 'cause I
slide the instrumental
Em
Am
Keep the girl in the dis tance,
moves are very hazy
No sunshine in my life
the way I deal is shady
Verse 2
Am
Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
Blue Blue lines are the reason why the
temple had to shatter
Em
To the sound of silence
surrounded by the mass
Am
Her face is on the paper,
Em
not the strangers that I pass
The ones that are looking back to see
Verse 3
if they are looking back at me
Em
Are you predator, or do you fear me?
Am
Yeah, while I'm doing this, I know
Bb
Am
The place I really wanna go
Em
The one I love but never gets near me
Verse 4
Em
It's a beautiful day well, it
Gm
seems as such
Em
Beautiful thoughts means
I dream too much
Even if I told you, you
still would not know me
Tricky never does,
Am
Adrian mostly gets lonely
Em
How we live in this existence,
Am
just being
Em
Am
English upbringing,
Em
background Caribbean
Verse 5
It's the way that we billety
Sharing a soliloquy
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
No sunshine in my life because the
way I deal is hazy
And every day's a daisy 'cause
I'm on my toes

Verse 6
There's a looking glass
she's looking through
She hated me,
but then she loved me too
Am
I'd lie, not try, so I lost faith
Em
Am
Em
Then turn to her to keep the faith
Am
She told me, take an occupation,
or you lose your mind
And on a nine-to-five lemon, lemon,
Em
lemon, looking for the lime
Verse 7
Em
Box clever, watch your system come together
Am
Crazy weather at the end
Em
of my tether
Verse 8
Massive in the area, murderer
Attack in the area, murderer
Verse 9
Em
Some go softly,
Am
softly round the habitat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got no one to stab it at
Em
Take a walk, Billy, don't be a hero
Am
Em
Effort's on minimal though almost
touch zero
Excommunicated from
the brotherhood of man
Bb
Am
To wander lonely as a puzzled

Interlude 1

Verse 10
Edim
Em
Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc
Take it to extremities,
my purple and pink
I feel the colors fill my room beneath
the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops that dribble
down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't
Am
even leave a mark upon my soul
Em
They leave the rainbows in the dark
Verse 11
Em
Blues get big, Massive are even larger
Save enough space into the tricky Tardis
We'd trawl what I saw from
down in Darren's hall
Am
People laying their claim
Edim
Em
In stormy weather it's rain
Verse 12
But you're living on a see-saw
Verse 13
I I try to see more
Am
Somebody da-ditty, nobody
Em
nobody
Walking on sunshine, but,
Am
still, we're treading water
Em
The son of many reasons searching
for the daughter
Seeking knowledge,
not acknowledging the jet-set
Bb
Silver Silver papers of the sound
Gm
Em
within my Budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the
moonlight kissed them
Verse 14
Em
To Massive Attack,
Am
Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling,
Em
so I wrote this on repeat
Always living fast,
Am
people getting jumpy
Where on Gruggy falls I just
do the Walter Crumpy
Em
Microphones held close,
crouching far apart
Am
Take my peace of mind and sign my
name across your heart
