Album: Lincoln

Intro: E

Chorus 1:
         E    A                 E             C#m
Piece of dirt,  that is all I'm standing on today
         E    A           E                 C#m
Piece of dirt,  the whole world has slipped away
        F#m               C#m
I would climb the highest mountain just to
F#m         E
Jump into a fountain
      A   B      E         C#m
Or to fly,   I'd fly away


Verse 1;
  F#m                  C#m
A woman's voice on the radio
       A                   E
Can convince you you're in love
  A                    E
A woman's voice on the telephone
       A                  B
Can convince you you're alone
      C#m             E
But I set my sails so long ago
          A                 F#m
They've revoked my sailor's badge
              A
Said I should be content and happy
        A   A    A     B E
On this ink spot where I stand

Chorus 2:
Piece of dirt,  that is all I'm standing on today
Piece of dirt,  the whole world has slipped away
I find myself haunted
By a spooky man named me
I wish that I could jump out of my skin
