Verse 1
Am 
Dm 
I got a friend with a habit,
Am 
Dm 
a habit of a runnin' away
Em 
He says he can't take it,
Am 
he takes it everyday
Dm 
He takes it like a hunger
Am 
Dm 
The lonely man he is
Em 
Inside his need of soul I see
Am 
Burning with a will to live
Dm 
Come on, John, yeah
Am 
Dm 
Come on, John, it's life -taking
Em 
Too long now,
you've been staring at the moon
Am 
Em 
Reflected in  the liquid,
dripping in your spoon
Am 
Em 
I know you're alive and right up a room
Am 
Dm 
Come on, John
Am 
Dm 
Em 
E 
D 
Am 
Come on, come on
Dm 
This woman left him cryin'
Am 
Dm 
She could never  please
Em 
She could not get past his arm
Am 
He couldn't get on his knees
Dm 
Now me, I see a future
Am 
Dm 
Could be clear and   free
Em 
I know there is a spirit there,
Am 
I know so does he
Dm 
Come on John and make it,
Am 
Dm 
come on John it's life to  me
Em 
Too tired of self -review,
it's not easy when you're confused
I know you're alive,
I've seen you light up a room
Am 
Dm 
Come on, come on, come on  on,
Am 
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
Am 
come on
Dm 
I've got a friend with a habit
Am

Habit of running away

He says he can't take it,
Am 
Dm 
Am

but he takes it if he can.

All right, David Bluehead, the control then.
C 
And we're gonna get ready
to wrap this up
Am 
and put it to bed.
so for those of you who go
Dm 
Em 
to the second halls
now's the time
Dm 
I'm not pretending to prescribe
or encourage anything
but you know if you if your doctor
feels that's what you should do
and it's time to go to bed
it's getting close to that time
and we're gonna close it up
with Chris Christopherson
Am 
and his band and Rita Coolidge and I
know Chris knows a lot more songs
we might be here till morning
yet people record plant
have been doing fantastically
Tom fly John all right
let's have a hand for the
men at the controls
F#m 
all they got to do
is get the remote truck
ready to go to Texas and
record Alice Cooper
hey how's for a bummer.
I ain't sure it'll work. All of it.
Okay, if you're there,
Em 
Mr. Christopherson,
won't you please?
Em 
I know she picked us to do the sleeping music.
