[Em][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
Damn if I didn't
just go walking and find some [Em]horses
A man- made [C]lake and some [Am]trees
Came back to my room all
covered in sweat
[Em]Here at the Swiss Waldhaus[Am] Hotel

[Verse 2]
Filled out [Am]an application for a work [Em]visa
For Japan and Australi[Am]a
It's been a few weeks
since I've left home
And I [Em]feel out of place
And out of my [Am]element

[Verse 3]
I work [Am]from 7 at night
[Em]Until 5 AM when the
AD says [Am]"Wrap"
And a runner named Fabio flashlights me [Em]back
to my hotel before the [Am]sun comes up
Then I get in my bed and talk with my [Em]girl
on the phone to the birds [Am]chirping
How the hell did I end up playing
myself in an Itali[Em]an film
Set in a ski town in [Am]Switzerland?

[Verse 4]
[Bb]Damn if I didn't just go [Ebm]walk in the yard,
[Bb]so a[Bbm]lone o[Ebm]n [?]
I [Bbm]felt like Jimmy Page walking the moun
[Ebm]tains out behind Aleister Crowley's house
It was [Bbm]too dark, and it got [Ebm]so cold
That I [Gb]turned back around
[Ebm]Came back to my room,[Bbm]
read [Gb]Graham Nash's [Ebm]Wild Tales
[Am]Til I fell aslee[Ebm]p to the sound[Dm]
[G][Dm]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[C]The sound of the [G]birds
The birds [C]of [Am]Flims
Yeah [C]I've asked [G]around
But nobody knows the names
[Em]of 'em
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[Dsus4]Of the birds[G]
The birds [Em]of F[Am]lims
[Dsus4]Yeah I've asked [G]around
But nobody knows the names
[Em]of 'em
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Damn if I didn't just go walking
down the road
[Em]When a girl named Veronica stopped [Am]me
She said she was from Milan and
that she recognized me from [Em]the film
And that today was her [Am]birthday

[Verse 8]
We talked a little bit
But there was a barrier
And she went [Em]one way
and I went the [Am]oth er
And I walked along the dandelions
and down [Em]to market
Where I [Am]bought her some flowers

[Verse 9]
On the way back [Am]to my hotel
I left them in the lobby of [Em]her s,
with a note
"Veronica,
happy birthday -[Am]Mark"
And when I saw her again on the set
She said "Grazie",
and [Em]I could tell the gesture
Had touched her [Am]heart

[Verse 10]
Damn if I didn't go to dinner
last night with Paul
But his [Em]throat was sore
And I could see [Am]that he
was feeling ill
He spends more time on the set than I do
And it's cold out there
And the last [Em]two days,
he was [C]playing [Am]Hitler

[Verse 11]
I could see he was [C]grappling with that
[Am]And I [Em]felt bad,
and I gave him some words of support
[Am]And we talked about John Hughes movies,
home ownership
And the cost [Em]of living in San
Francisco and New York
[Am]And

[Verse 12]
damn if I didn't go out later with a set
dresser [Em]or something like that
[Am]Name said "Brianna"
We talked for four hours at a bar
down the street
And the music was terrible
[Em]But yeah, I liked her, k[Am]inda

[Verse 13]
She's been with someone for
four or five [C]years
And I kinda [Am]figured that [Em]anyhow,
and told her "Well, so have [Am]I"
And that made life easier for both of us
And I walked her drunk
ass back to her [Em]room
And like a gentleman,
I [Am]didn't try

[Interlude 3]
[G][Dm][Am]
[Dm]

[Verse 14]
An[C]d I went [G]to my room
I looked down at the waterfront
[Em]From[Am] my balcony I felt[G]
The [Em]surrealness of my surrounding[Am]s

[Verse 15]
I got in my [G]bed
Looked up at the baby
blue [Em]ceilings [Am]above
And [Dsus4]thought of my h[G]ome
And my girl
And I [Em]ached for her love

[Interlude 4]

[Verse 16]
Damn when it all ended
If I didn't have them [G]fly me [Em]out
To [Am]New Orleans
Where I saw kitty cats sleeping
on porches
And drank [Dsus4]real iced tea for [G]the first
[C]time in [Am]six to eight weeks

[Verse 17]
It was nice not [Am]having to walk down
that awkward path [C]again
And [G]not to have to [Am]yell [?]
About eating pasta pomodoro for the
38th time in a month
If [Dsus4]its price [?] was 6[Am]0 Swiss

[Verse 18]
fuckin' francs
[Am]Damn if I didn't go walking
the next after[G]noon
[C]Down Oretha Castle
[Am]I ate a catfish lunch at Cafe
Reconcile
With a side of [Dsus4]ma caroni and cheese
[C]And cor[Em]nbread and col[Am]lard greens

[Verse 19]
Saw it advert[C]ised on [Am]channel [G]99
The public [Em]access [Am]channel
And I walked across the street
to a gym
And I watched two fighters spar
And I talked to [Dsus4]them
[C]during their break
While they [Em]sipped [Am]on their [Bb]Snapple

[Verse 20]
And I thought, what is [Bbm]life if n[Ebm]ot a fight?
[Ab]Or a[Bbm] test of will and grac[Ebm]e
[Bb]Some would match it by [Bbm]throw
ing bombs like [Bb]Mike Tyson
But [Ab]some, like Pernell, are
[Bbm]slippery [Ebm][?][Bb]

[Verse 21]
Some are fearless like [Bb]Gatti
But [Ab]like Henry Akinwande
Some of them [Db]buckle and [Ebm]stall
When the [Bb]go ing gets tough,
with much due re[Bbm]spect
Some of them break down and [Ab]cry
Like Oliv[Bbm]er "The Ato[Ebm]mic
[Bb]Bomb" McCall

[Verse 22]
Life's a chess game for all of us
Hit, don't be [Ab]hit, jab and hook and
feint and [Db]bob and weave
[Ebm]When the fighte[Bb]rs got back in the ring
I thought [Bbm]of my own fight in [Bb]life
And it was [Ab]time to [Ebm]be leaving

[Verse 23]
And [Bb]damn if I didn't go to the [Bbm]airport
And fly [Ab]up to [Bbm]Clev eland, Ohio
[Ebm]I had dinner[Bb] at Sylvester's in [Bbm]North Canton
with my girlfriend and her friends
And for the first [Ab]time
in a while
I was surrounded [Ebm]by genuine [Bb]smiles (
beautiful smiles)

[Verse 24]
There at the table with [Bbm]all of them,
I felt content
[Ab]And grounded and r[Db]ooted again[Ebm]
And was [Bb]dropped off to face
the hardships
[Bbm]Of a single mom who happens to be one
[Ab]of my closest and dearest [Db]friends[Ebm]

[Verse 25]
[Bb]Fell asleep in her spare [Bbm]room
to the sound of crop dusters
[Ab]And cars on the high[Db]way[Ebm]
[Bb]Back to my [Bbm]root s where
unconditional love
Rules [Bb]over everything
[Ab]And I could no longer hear the birds of Flims
[Ebm]
