[Verse 1]
C
 Know a man,
F C                                Am
   his face seemed pulled and tense
          Fsus2 C        Fsus2 C          Fsus2 C   Am
Like he's ri___ding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
        Fsus2      C
So I approach with tact
F            C
Suggest that he should relax,
    F           C      G        F
but he's always moving much too fast

[Chorus]
                         Am        F                 Am
Said he'll see me on the flip side of this trip he's taking
for a ride
F         Fsus2 C   Fsus2     C
He's been ta___king too  much on
Fsus2    C             Fsus2 C   Fsus2 C   Am
There he goes with his perfectly un___kept clothes
F        C
There he goes

[Break]
C Fsus2 C
Am     F      C    C   F    C
  He's yet to come back but I see his picture

[Verse 2]
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 about his insides

[Chorus]
     F                     Am
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
F         Fsus2 C
He's been ta___ken,
      Fsus2      C
where I    don't know
Fsus2   C             Fsus2 C   Fsus2 C   Am
Off  he goes with his perfectly un___kept hope
F        C
There he goes

[Verse 3]
C Fsus2 C
Am          Fsus2   C    F      C
  And now I rub  my eyes for he has returned
F C           F     C              Fsus2      C    Am
  Seems my preconceptions are what should have been  burned
    F        C
For he still smiles
         F    C
And he's still strong
F C                 F          C
  Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit
Fsus2 C   Am
That  has grown

[Chorus]
    Fsus2     C    Fsus2      C        Fsus2   C
And now  he's home and  we're laughing like we always did
Fsus2   C         Fsus2 C   Am
     My same old, same  old friend
        F          C  C
Until a quarter to ten

[Verse 4]
F         C
I saw the strain creep in
F   C            F         C
 He seems distracted and I know just what is going to
Fsus2 C  Am
hap__pen next
       F         C    F     C
Before his first step he is off again
