Verse 1:

        A                   B
        With pictures and words
        D6          E7
        Is this communicating?
        A                      B
        The sounds that I've heard
        D6            E7
        The growling voice then fading
        D6          E7
        And yes my heart was beating
        D6         E7
        Or was it just repeating

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 2:

        With nickels and dimes
        You soon will have a dollar
        Am I in your time
        I see no need to swallow
        Or catch a plane to travel
        My mind's not made of gravel

Verse 3:

        Can you find your way
        Or do you want my vision
        It's dark there, they say
        But that's just indecision
        And in my last inspection
        Is this the right direction

[repeat instrumental break 1]

Verse 4:

        I once had a girl
        She told me I was funny
        She said in your world
        You needed lots of money
        And things to kill your brother
        But death just starts another
