Standard (EADGBE)

[G/f#] (2x0033)

Verse 1

[G/f#]

I've been the needle and the thread,

Weaving figure eights and circles round your head,

[G/f#]

I've tried to laugh, but cry instead,

Patiently wait to hear those words you've never said.

Fumbling through your dresser drawer,

[G/f#]

Forgot what I was looking for,

Try to guide me in the right direction;

Making use of all this time,

[G/f#]

Keeping everything inside,

Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.

Chorus

I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;

I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.

I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,

This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.

Verse 2

[G/f#]

"This is not goodbye," she said,

"It is just time for me to rest my head."

[G/f#]

She does not walk, she runs instead,

Down these jagged streets and into my bed, when I was

Fumbling through your dresser drawer,

[G/f#]

Forgot what I was looking for,

Try to guide me in the right direction;

Making use of all this time,

[G/f#]

Keeping everything inside,

Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.

Chorus

I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;

I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.

I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,

This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.

Bridge

There's only so much I can do for you, oh

After all of the things you've put me through.

Chorus

I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;

I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.

I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,

This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.
