Verse 1:
E
There’s only one light on in the house
E/A
And that’s the light up in the hall
E/F#
And it’s shining on the back of my head
E E/A
And I’m concentrating hard on the cigarette
E/F#
To the ashtray from the ashtray back to my lips
Chorus:
E
So I lean up from my easy chair
E/A
I rub my three-day beard
E/F#
And give that thousand yard stare
E E/A E/F#
As I recall all the time and money we spent
E
Before I became irrelevant
Interlude: E/A, E/F#, E, E/A, E/F#
Verse 2:
E
So the straw-dog threw rock-salt
E/A
And the precious girl took a bow and walked
E/F#
As I ran my finger over the screen door
E
Yeah every kiss has reeked of betrayal
E/A
Since my heroine jumped the guardrail
E/F#
And decided who she wanted to be once more
Chorus:
E
Now every night I’m paralyzed
E/A
By the fear of rope burns and morning light
E/F#
And the smell of wet cement
E
Since I became irrelevant
Interlude: E/A, E/F#, E, E/A, E/F#
Verse 3:
E
Now memory is just a flash flood
E/A
A thick and black sticky mud
E/F#
And heartache it’s like a breaking bone
Verse 4:
E
It was always twelve hours on a missionary line
E/A
I think I would''ve spared some time
E/F#
But I didn''t I never went home
Chorus:
E
Now it occurs to me like blinds un-drawn
E/A
Or a bullet from a shotgun
E/F#
That she knew long ago what it meant
E E/A E/F#
To feel irrelevant
Last Verse:
E E/A
Now I’m always smiling crying
And hiding my intent
E
Since I became irrelevant
Outro: E, E/A, E/F# (x3) E
