T Total Tommy
Intro: G Em Am D7 (2X)
GTo the sad-eyed misinterpreted Amhung-up child of clay
D7So the drunken poets pretty words Gdidn't help you find your way
Was it your mistake for thinkin' he was Amborn before his time
D7Or was it his for thinkin' he might save you Gwith his flimsy rhyme
GT Total Tommy took a toke of tea, black cats backin' up a big oak tree
AmTick tocks tickin' out a tune on time, last words lookin' for a line to rhyme
D7Saw fishs swimmin' in the sea-saw-sea but me well I'm only GlookiEmn' Am D7
I see so many with no place tonight their sleepy heads to lay
With pen in hand I take a stand I got nothin' deep to say
Some words are better left to whisper only to the wind
Some men kill with bullets Lord others use a pen
Sidewalks singin' of a troubled time, small talks marchin' to a nursery rhyme
Day trippers trippin' on a mornin' high stop watch watchin' for a chance to die
Bad dogs barkin' up an empty tree but me well I'm only cryin'
