Jackson Browne - Late show

^GEveryone I've ever known has wished me ^Cwell Any^Gway that's how it seems, it's hard to ^Ctell Maybe ^Gpeople only ^Dask you how you're doing ^C 'Cause that's ^Geasier than ^Dletting on how ^D#dimlittle they could ^Emcare ^{G C}But when you ^C#dimknow that you've got a ^G/Dreal fr^B7iend some^Emwhere ^AmSuddenly all the others are so much ^Deasier to bear

^GNow to see things clear it's hard enough I ^Cknow While you're ^Gwaiting for reality to ^Cshow Without ^Gdreaming of the ^Dperfect love And ^Cholding it so far ^Gabove That if you ^Dstumbled onto someone ^D#dimreal, you'd never ^Emknow ^G (You'd never know) ^C You could be with somebody who is ^Glonely too (Sometimes it doesn't show) ^C He might be trying to get ^Gacross to you (Words can be so slow) ^C C#dim G/D B7/D# Em When your own emptiness is all that's getting through There comes a ^Ampoint when you're not sure why you're still talki^Dng I passed that point ^Glong ago (Long ^G7ago) ^C

Now I'm so tired of ^Gall this circling ^DAnd all these ^D#dimglimpses of the ^Emend (You know it's ^Guseless to pretend) ^CThat's all the voices say: ^G"You'l^D/F#l go righ^Emt on circling ^AmUntil you've found some kind of ^Dfriend"

^GI saw you through the laughter and the ^Cnoise You were ^Gtalking with the soldiers and the ^Cboys While they ^Gscuffled for your ^Dweary smiles I ^Cthought of all the empty ^Gmiles

And the ^Dyears that I've spent ^D#dimlooking for your ^Emeyes ^G(Looking for your eyes) ^C And now I'm sitting here wondering ^Gwhat to say (That you might recognize) ^C Afraid that all these words might ^Gscare you away (And break through the disguise) ^C C#dim D B7/D# Em No one ever talks about their feelings anyway Without ^Amdressing them in dreams and laughter ^DI guess it's just too painful oth^Gerwise ^G7

It's like you're ^D#dimstanding in the window Of a ^Emhouse nobody ^Glives in And I'm ^Csitting in a car across the ^Dway (Let's just ^Csay) It's an early model ^GChevrolet (Let's just s^Cay) It's a warm and windy ^Gday ^D/F# Em Em/D# You go and pack your sorrow The ^G/Dtrash man comes to^A7/C#morrow Leave it ^Cat the curb and ^Dwe'll just roll ^Gaway
