Written by John Joseph Kongos
Em I talk of six while forgetting five Em Can't even taste if my food's alive Em I'm watching music that I can't hear Em Staring down some invisible fear Em Once again the questions asked Em I answer "yes" but the moment's passed Em I'm guess I'm always tomorrow-bound Em How many more till I'm underground? Chorus Em D/F# G C Cm Am Oh oh I remember now D/F# G C Cm Am Too far below to turn a-round D/F# G Em Too bright a light to let go now Am D/F# G Em Take me back my friend Am D/F# Em Take me back on home Em Now what I'm saying is nothing new Em This repetition's right on cue Em A wise man said you're amused to death Em Too much talk, too much wasted breath Em You're overjoyed and over-fed Em Over-sexed, you're almost dead Em Gotta work gotta stay awake Em God I'm tired can I take a break Em D/F# G C Cm Am Oh oh I remember now D/F# G C Cm Am Too far below to turn a-round D/F# G Em Too bright a light to let go now Am D/F# G Em Take me back my friend Am D/F# Em Take me back on home Em D/F# G C Cm Am Oh oh I remember now D/F# G C Cm Am Too far below to turn a-round D/F# G Em Too bright a light to let go now Am D/F# G Em Take me back my friend Am D/F# Em Take me back on home Em D/F# G C Cm Am Oh oh I remember now D/F# G C Cm Am Too far below to turn a-round D/F# G Em Too bright a light to let go now Am D/F# G Em Take me back my friend Am D/F# Em Take me back on home
