Chord transcription by Ian Chippett:
Intro: G /// //// //// //// //// ////
G C
The way my arms around you touch the centre of my being
G D
As I step inside the marshland of your mind
G C
Makes me weak inside my senses like a dog hit by a diesel
G D C G
And more alone than Milton goin' blind
C G G(F# bass) Em
And I know I need to lose you if I ever want to find you
A(7) D
'Cause the poet's way is finished from the start
G C
And I feel a palpitation kinda flutter in my forehead
G D C G
As I think the problem over in my heart
C G G(F# bass) Em
Yes I guess I'll always never know the question to your answer
A(7) B B7
If I can't be doin' wrong by feelin' right
C G G(F# bass) Em
But I'm really lookin' forward to how you'll be lookin' backward
G D C G
When I'm walkin' with you sideways through the night
Solo: C /// //// G /// //// D /// //// C /// G /// //// //// ////
I can keep this kind of writin' goin' more or less forever
But I can't undo destruction when it's gone
I can only think of you and what you cost me in hotel bills
As I settle down to dream of movin' on
If I've never longed to love you less than now you'll know the reason
Is because my whole desire is to sing
And everything I'm sayin' is the mirror of your beauty
As it hovers like a vulture on the wing
Yes I guess I'll always never know the question to your answer
If I can't be doin' wrong by feelin' right
But I'm really lookin' forward to how you'll be lookin' backward
G D C G(B bass) D(A bass) G
When I'm walkin' with you sideways through the night
