Tony Sly - Capo 4th Fret Ukulele

Capo 1st fret

Intro: C  Am  F  G

       C           G          Am
Like a child I can sit in the corner
           F           C          G
with these pills I can barely get by
     C            G          Am
so I wait for the hour of approval
    F         G        C
ten minutes until it's five

         C            G             Am
And it's Friday, so I don't feel so lonely
           F          C     G
I know the wolves are out tonight
    C        G        Am
the sound of ice in a bottomless glass
      F       G           C
tells me that all that is fine

[chorus]
Am                     F
Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words
       C                        G
like a baby who just learned to speak
Am                      F
unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done
        C                        G
but the premise was just kind of weak

         C            G             Am
Like the moon you are cold, you are distant
         F         C                G
like the sun I can burn through the day
       C          G         Am
in the valley the echo gets longer
        F   G    C
they've all gone away

[chorus]
Am                     F
Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words
       C                        G
like a baby who just learned to speak
Am                      F
unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done
        C                        G
but the premise was just kind of weak

(softly)
         C           G       Am
There is time to reflect and ponder
       F          C          G
as the chips fall where they may
       C            G       Am
I will live for the sake of others
   F        G      C
so they can do the same
