Tightly Wound

Intro: Drumbeats x2 

Bb  F/A x4 


verse 1: 
Cm             Dm 
  The dim city light 
               Eb 
would serve as our guide 
            F 
six hundred candles 
       Cm 
in the breeze  
             Dm 
Like gypsies making 
             Eb 
off with the moonlight 
It always down 
    F              Bb 
and we got the memories 


Refrain 1: 
It always seems to 
Eb                  Bb      
come right down the best 
               Eb 
A heavy hitter swings 
             Bb 
but seems to miss 
    F/A        Gm 
You can't help hoping 
Cm            Eb 
you'll be the next one 
              F 
and you'll be winning 



              Bb 
We're tightly wound going 
round and around We're 
        Cm 
tightly wound going round 
                  F 
and around We may break 
             Eb   F 
on the way up  or on 
        Bb 
the way down We're all 
                     F 
going down going down 


Post Chorus: Bb  F/A x4 


verse 2: 
Cm            Dm 
  So face the breaks 
                    Eb 
and we'll be better for 
              F 
take time and get 
          Cm 
back all alone 
              Dm 
it Like an executioner 
   Eb       F 
on death row 


(Repeat Refrain 1) 


              Bb 
We're tightly wound going 
round and around We're 
        Cm 
tightly wound going round 
                  F 
and around We may break 
             Eb   F 
on the way up  or on 
        Bb 
the way down We're all 
going down going down 


Bridge:

It always seems to 
Eb(hold)           Bb(hold)

you'll be the next one 
              F 
and you'll be winning
