F G F G
Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
Dm Am Em F
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
C Dm Em F
Memory is a fickle siren's song
G
I didn't understand
[Verse 2]
F G F G
In the gentle light as the morning nears
Dm Am Em F
You don't say a single word of your last two years
C Dm Em F
Where you were or when you reached the frontier
G
I didn't understand, no
[Interlude]
C F G F x2
[Verse 3]
F G F G
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Dm Am Em F
Twenty dollars in your hand makes you hold so tight
C Dm Em F
All the evidence of your vacant life
G
My brother, you were gone
[Verse 4]
F G F G
And you will try to do what you did before
Dm Am Em F
Pull the wool over your eyes, for a week or more
C Dm Em F
Let your family take you back to your
G
Original mind.
[Bridge]

There's nothing I can say
