( F - D - ) x8

F                 D
  The time is too short
F                 D
  but never too long
F           D
  to reach ahead,
F                D
  to project the image,
F               D
  which will in time-
F              D           F     D     F     D
  become a concrete dream.
F             D
  Another cigarette,
F         D
  another day,
F          D
  from A to B,
F         D                  F     D
  again avoiding C, D, and E,
              F    D                     F        D
  'cause E is-        where you play the blues.

( F - D - ) x2

F            D
  Avoiding a death
F              D
  is to win the game,
F             D
  to avoid relegation,
F         D
  the big E.

A
Drowning in the big swim,
B             G
rising to the surface

( F - D - ) x2

A
                       P.M.
B               G      D
   The smell of you-       That's the lowdown

( F - D - ) x15

F        D
That's a lowdown
A
Drowning in the big swim,
B             G
rising to the surface

( F - D - ) x2

A
                       P.M.
B               G      D
   The smell of you-       That's the lowdown
