G Em Am C
G Em Am
Hey when the need becomes too strong or long
C G
And drawn out for me to take
Em Am C G
Like a cigarette burn to the fleshy turbines OF my heart
Em C G
That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory
Em Am
Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here
C G Em Am C x2
Standing naked on my own
G Em Am
Your voice is small on my voice mail system
C G
A million miles away
Em
But if I turned it off
Am C G
I would not hear the little things you say
Em
"The world must chill"
Am C G
And like a king I ring up old acquaintances
Em Am
It's like the man says "I ain't here on business"
D
It's all work anyway
C
On any other day
Am D
They say the light has got no equal
C G Em Am C x2
On any other day
G Em Am
The date's irrelevant but she was drunk
C G
In the heat of the June night
Em Am
The faces in the windows - shouts rang out
C G
Into dawn's early light
Em Am
The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled
C G
On my two shambling legs
Em Am
"I gotta go" I said - they both looked dead
C
On any other day
D
On any other day
Am D
They say the light has got no equal
C
On any other day
D
On any other day
Am D
They say the light has got no equal
Am C G Em Am C x2
On any other day
G Em
The fire blazed away
Am C G
The kitchen porch was all that D-m ained
Em Am
And I'm out here alone - beat up and pissed
C G
UN-til this very day
Em Am
That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time
C G
And I was ravaged to the bone
Em Am
Your voice got smaller 'til I realized
C D
It was gone
C
On any other day
Am D
They'd say the light has got no equal
C
On any other day
D
On any other day
Am D
I swear the light has got no equal
Am C G Em Am C x2
On any other day
I realize
I realize
It was gone
