If the Brakeman Turns My Way

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[G]When panic grips your body and your
[C]heart is a humming[G]bird
Raven thoughts blacken your mind
until you're breath[C]ing in re[D]verse
[C]All your friends and sed[Em]atives mean [G]well,
but [D]make it [C]worse
[Em]Every reas[C]surance just
[Em]magnifies [C]the doubt
[G]Better find your[D]self [Em]a place
to [D]level [G]out
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Got a [G]cricket for a conscience,
always [C]looks the [G]other way
A cocaine soul starts seeming like
[C]an empty cab[D]aret
[C]Hey, where have all the dan[Em]cers [G]gone?
Now the music does[D]n't [C]play
Tried to [Em]listen to [C]the river but you
[Em]couldn't shut [C]your mouth
Better [G]take [D]a little [Em]time to [D]level out
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]I never tho[Am]ught of runnin[G]g
[C]My feet just led the way
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Mixed [C]up signals
Bullet [G]train
Cars are switched out
[D]in the crazy [G]rain
I could meet [C]you any place
If the [D]brake[Em]man [C]turns
my way
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Em][D]
All this [G]automatic writing
I have tried [C]to under[G]stand
From a psychedelic angel who was
[C]tugging on [D]my hand
It's an in[C]finite coin[Em]cidence
but it [G]doesn't [D]form [C]a plan
So I'm [Em]headed for New [C]England
or the [Em]Paris of [C]the South
[G]Going to find [D]myself some[Em]where
to [D]level [G]out
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Are your [G]brothels full, oh Babylon,
with [C]merry middle[G]men?
Never peer out of their periscopes from
[C]those deep opium [D]dens
All this death [C]must need a counter[Em]weight,
always [G]someone [D]born [C]again
First a [Em]mother bathes [C]her child,
then the [Em]other way [C]around
The scales [G]always [D]find [Em]a way
to [D]level out
[G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
I tried to [Am]pass for noth[G]ing
[C]But my dreams gave me away
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]
Mixed up signals
[C]Bullet [G]train
People snuffed out [D]in the brutal [G]rain
I could live [C]to any age
If the [D]brake[Em]man [C]turns my way

[Verse 9]
[G]It is an [Am]old world,
it's hard [D]to remember
Like a [Bm]dime store mys[D]tery[Bm]
[G]I'm[Em] a repeat f[C]irst
time of[D]fender[Bm]
[D]Who[C] has rewritten his[D]tory

[Verse 10]
[G]Mixed up tea lea[C]ves
Phantom [G]pain
Fuzzy logic in [D]the the crazy [G]rain
Getting [C]better every day
If the [D]brakeman [Em]turn[C]s my way[G]

[Verse 11]
Mixed up [G]signals[C]
Bullet [G]train
Cars are switched out in
[D]the blinding [G]rain
He'll be smiling as [C]he seals my fate
When the [D]brake[Em]man [C]turns my way

[Outro 1]
[G]
