FYou say the world is doing fine CExcept for the canaries down in the mine Gthey’re just not singing anymore CThey’re lying lifeless on the floor
FSome say love is like oxygen CAnd since you left me I’ve been suffering GRound and round like a weathervane I go CAnd I can’t find which way the wind will blow
FIn fact this whole thing is a mystery CAnd I’m feeling less and less free GLocked between the bars of my birth and my death CWhat my crime was well I can only guess
FBut you were the light in my darkness night CI was blind when you gave me sight GTo see all that was beautiful CMy empty life so lush lush and full
FOh your body was my temple of doom CA sanctuary and a living tomb GWhere I was buried in two seconds flat CI know you said sometimes love is like that
FBut all I have left is a lock of your hair CAt least I think it’s yours but baby I don’t care GI you gave me presents I can’t find them now CYou said you did but I got my doubts
FBecause all you told me were sweet sweet lies CI could have been one a thousand guys GYou could never get enough of you CWho were so shocked when their time was through
FThat’s it for me I’m on my way home CI’m singing the last verse of like a Rolling Stone GRest assure I never wanted you to change CInto something refined or prearranged
FSome say the world is doing fine CAnd those canaries are done their time GBut I can’t hear them singing anymore CI’m nearly lifeless on your floor
(from here he usually starts playing open chords, keep continuing the F C G C) Hey now little cha cha cha...
