[Verse 1]
[C]In [Am]the end o[Em]f the line
Calamity at first sight
Now the man in me don't walk right
Just [Am]like a pebble in my shoe

[Verse 2]
[C]But you were a wanderer
And a compet[D]ent one at that
So [Em]it caught me by sur
[Am]prise this venerability
That I nev[C]er thought I had
Oh and you tried [D]so hard to say

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Everything you wanted to
And with [Am]an aching tongue
Oh you [C]spat out at the world
now not of words
[D]But of a pearl [Em]that had [Am]belonged to her

[Verse 4]
[C]So I went back to [D]the country
Where [Em]the air was [Am]mild a[C]nd sweet
I [D]was in [Em]need [Am]of some
reprieve [C]and intermission
[D]Oh to [Em]gather up my [Am]things and
to get back [C]upon my feet
[D]But I

[Verse 5]
[Em]cant say I've got [Am]the answers[C]
[D]For [Am]its [C]always s[D]hades of g[Em]rey
But [Am]theres [C]a warmth in t[D]he air
in mid [Em]september[C][Em]
An[Am]d it's [C]enough across [D]my [Em]face just to
Re[Am]mind [C]me [D]that I'm
well [Em]upon my way
[Am]And I feel

[Verse 6]
[C]the ease
Man I [D]feel [Em]it tingle in my t[Am]oes
How funny are [C]the way that these
[D]memories do grow
Into some old [Em]french film
in black and [Am]white

[Verse 7]
And I [C]know the [D]ropes
Because you see I've [Em]said goodbye
[Am]to some lovers
[C]Fleshed out [D]and tied [Em]to
[Am]each [C]other
[D]By that in[Em]visible [Am]string [C]it tangles me
And [D]when

[Verse 8]
[C]that morning
came up fast well it
Broke [Am]the fever square upon its back
And finally I felt just like I [C]should
Oh the blood under my fingers warm
The clearing of a two months storm
[Bsus4]now done[B]

[Verse 9]
[Bsus4]So I went[B][C][Am][C][D][Em]
back [Am]to the country
Where [C]the air now bit[D]ter sweet
[Am]And subtle is the [C]change of
[D]my indif[Em]ference
[Am]But strange how [C]the solitude
[D]Can leave a man com[C]plete

[Verse 10]
And [Am]I can't wait 'till
the [C]morning
Be it sun[D]shine [Em]hail or snow
See I [Am]do not believe in
su[C]perstition
But some[D]where upon this mess
I may have [Am]found some hap
[C]piness to call my [D]own
[Em]Oh and time is[Am] a healer
Time [C]is a friend of mine
In time if you [D]feel it
Would you be a friend of mine
Oh I hope you're [Em]a friend of min[D]e
