The Undercover Man Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F♯mHere at the F♯susglass -

all the usual F♯mproblems, all the habitual F♯susfarce.

F♯mYou ask, in uncertain F♯susvoice,

what you should F♯mdo,

as if there were a Echoice but to carryD on

miming the C♯msong

and hope that it all works outF♯m right.

Tonight it all seems soF♯sus strange -

my spirit feelsF♯m rigAid, my bodyF♯sus deranG♯ged;

still F♯mthat's only from one point ofF♯sus view

and we can't have ilF♯mlusiAon between me andE you,

my constantD friend, ever close atC♯m hand -

you and the undercoverF♯m man.

I re flect: 'It's very strange

to be going through thisD change

with no idea of what it's Gall been about

[E F G A B C♯]A♯/D

except in the context of time...'

Oh, but I A♯shirk itB5, I've half a mind not to work it all Cout.

DIs this madness just the recurring Gwave of total emoAtion,

or aD hide for the undercover Gman, A

or a Dlitany - all the signs are Gthere of fervent devoAtion -

or the cracking of the dam?

C C7M C C C7M F

It's cracked; smashed and bursting over you,

there was no Dreason to expect such diCsaster.

BNow, Empanicking, you burst for air,

EmMaj7drowning, you know you care

G/Dfor nothing and no-one but yoursA/C♯elf

and would Gdeny even this hand

which stretches Bmout toDwards Ayou to Ghelp.

But would I leave you in this moment of your trial?

Is it my fauG7Mlt that I'm C7Mhere to see you CcryBing?

These phantom figures all around you should have told you,

you should have Amfound out by Gnow,

if you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by youCrself.

G♯ A♯ C

Sax solo over F minor riff

[C♯ D♯] E B/D♯ D

Ev-en now we are not lost: if you look out at the night

you'll see the colours and the Glights seem to say

[E F G A A♯ C]A♯/D A♯

people are not far a-way, at least in distance,

and it's B5only our own dumb resistance

that's making usC stay.

D C C♯dim

DWhen the madness comes, let it flood on Gdown and over me sweeAtly,

let it Ddrown the parts of me weak and blessed and Gdamned, A

let it Dslake my life, let it take my Gsoul and living comApletely,

let Dit Cbe Cwho C7MI Cam.

AThere may Dnot be time for us all to Grun in tandem toAgether -

the Dhorizon calls with its parallel Glines. A

It may Dnot be right for you to have and Ghold in one way forAever

and Dyet Cyou Cstill C7Mhave Ctime, C C7M F

you Cstill C7Mhave Ctime. C C7M F
