The Final Cut Chords

Capo 3
 
[Verse 1]
D                                            A
Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
      G                                         D
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    D                                     A
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
    G                                                 D
I'm spiraling down, to the hole in the ground where I hide
 
G                    D
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive,
G                                     D
and beat the dogs, and cheat the cold electronic eyes,
G          A                Bm
and if you make it past the shotguns in the hall,
Em7
Dial the combination... open the priesthole
                    A               D
And if I'm in, I'll tell you (BOOM!)
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                                 D
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
F#m                         A
Making love to girls in magazines
   G                                    Bm
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith...
Em7
Could anybody love him?
                A     D
Or is it just a crazy dream?
 
|(D)      | D/A A   | G       | D       |
 
[Verse 3]
    D                    A
And if I show you my dark side
                    G  D
Will you still hold me tonight?
    D            A
And if I open my heart to you,
            G
Show you my weak side...
               D
What would you do?
 
G                                    D
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
G                                D
Would you take the children away, and leave me alone?
    G             A             Bm
And smile in reassurance as you whisper down the phone,
Em7
Would you send me packing?
   A                    D
...Or would you take me home?
 
[Solo]
| F#m     | D       | F#m     | A       |
| G       | Bm      | Em7     | Em7   A | D       |
 
[Verse 4]
F#m                            D
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
F#m                               A
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
  G
I held the blade in trembling hands,
 Bm
Prepared to make it but...
Em7
Just then the phone rang.
                                        D
I never had the nerve to make The Final Cut
