Verse 1
(G major) When panic grips your body and your
(C major) heart is a humming (G major) bird
Raven thoughts blacken your mind
until you're breath (C major) ing in reverse (D major)
(C major) All your friends and sed (E minor) atives mean (G major) well,
but (D major) make it (C major) worse
(E minor) Every reas (C major) surance just
(E minor) magnifies the doubt (C major)
Better find (G major) your (D major) self a place (E minor)
to (D major) level out (G major)
(E minor)
Verse 2
(D major)
Got a (G major) cricket for a conscience,
always (C major) looks the other way (G major)
A cocaine soul starts seeming like
(C major) an empty cabaret (D major)
Hey, where (C major) have all the dan (E minor) cers gone? (G major)
Now the music does (D major) n't play (C major)
Tried to (E minor) listen to the river (C major) but you
(E minor) couldn't shut your mouth (C major)
Better take (G major) a little (D major) time (E minor) to (D major) level out
(G major)

(C major) My feet just led the way
(D major)
Verse 4
(G major)
Mixed up signals (C major)
Bullet train (G major)
Cars are switched out
in the (D major) crazy rain (G major)
I could meet you (C major) any place
If the (D major) brake (E minor) man (C major) turns
my way
(G major)
Verse 5
(E minor) (D major)
All this (G major) automatic writing
I have tried (C major) to under (G major) stand
From a psychedelic angel who was
(C major) tugging on my hand (D major)
It's an in (C major) finite coin (E minor) cidence
but it (G major) doesn't form (D major) a plan (C major)
So I'm (E minor) headed for New (C major) England
or the (E minor) Paris of the South (C major)
Going to find (G major) myself (D major) somewhere (E minor)
to (D major) level out (G major)
(E minor)
Verse 6
(D major)
Are your (G major) brothels full, oh Babylon,
with (C major) merry middle (G major) men?
Never peer out of their periscopes from
those deep (C major) opium dens (D major)
All this death (C major) must need a counter (E minor) weight,
always (G major) someone born (D major) again (C major)
First a (E minor) mother bathes her child, (C major)
then the (E minor) other way around (C major)
The scales (G major) always (D major) find a way (E minor)
to (D major) level out
(G major)

I tried to pass (A minor) for noth (G major) ing
But my (C major) dreams gave me away
(D major)
Verse 8
(G major)
Mixed up signals
Bullet (C major) train (G major)
People snuffed out in the (D major) brutal rain (G major)
I could live to (C major) any age
If the (D major) brake (E minor) man (C major) turns my way
Verse 9
(G major) It is an (A minor) old world,
it's hard to (D major) remember
Like a dime (B minor) store mystery (D major) (B minor)
(G major) (E minor) I'm a (C major) repeat first
time offender (D major) (B minor)
(D major) Who has (C major) rewritten (D major) history
Verse 10
(G major) Mixed up tea leaves (C major)
Phantom pain (G major)
Fuzzy logic in the (D major) the crazy rain (G major)
Getting better (C major) every day
If the brakeman (D major) (E minor) turns (C major) my way (G major)
Verse 11
Mixed up signals (G major) (C major)
Bullet train (G major)
Cars are switched out in
the (D major) blinding rain (G major)
He'll be smiling as he (C major) seals my fate
When the (D major) brake (E minor) man turns (C major) my way
