Off He Goes

F  C             F  C                          Am
      Know a man,     his face seem pulled and tense
          F C         F    C           F    C    Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
     F             C     F            C
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
    F           C      G        F
But he's always moving much too fast

                         Am
Said he'll see me on the flipside
(F)               Am
On this trip he's taken for a ride
(F)       F C    F        C
He's been takin' too much on
F        C             F     C   F C    Am
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
F        C
There he goes

     F      C         F     C
He's yet to come back,  but I see his picture
F   C            F   C              Am
 It doesn't look the same up on the rack
   F      C
We go way back

(F)                Am
I wonder 'bout his insides
(F)                        Am
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
(F)       F C          F       C
He's been taken, where I don't know 
F      C             F     C   F C    Am
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
F        C
There he goes

-Mellomspill

          F      C     F      C
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
F  C           F  C                 F        C      Am 
   Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
    F        C           x    F    C 
For he still smiles, and he's still strong
F C                 F          C                  F    C   Am
  Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown


    F        C    F         C
And now he's home and we're laughing
F       C      F       C         F    C   Am
Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
        F          C    F         C
Until a quarter to ten, I saw the strain creep in
F            C       F     C                          F C    Am
He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
       F         C    F       C
Before his first step,  he is off again
