Intro: G C9 G C9
GMichael,C9 where aGre you nC9ow? x2
Somehow in my eDxcitement the last time C9you called,
It slipped again to Dask your hidden whereaboutsC9

she C9said "I heard he lost his Dmind again"
"Again?" I said, I didn't C9know that you Bm7ever did C9
GMichaelC9, where Gare you C9now? x2
Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired
Getting high in southern air
Shoeless, sandy evenings down the unfamiliar
Last whiff of salt-water freedom
Skipping shells in the dead zone
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
With the ghost on your side
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
Of the state borderline, whispering
G C9 D* C9 D*F#
"Take it, take it, take it, take it
G C9 D* (just bass C F# G…)
Take it ...

Do you remember our first subway ride?
GOur first heavy metal C9haircuts?
GOur last swim on the eC9ast coast?
GAnd me with my ridiculous looking C9pierced nose?
I remember yourD warm smile in the sun C9
The daydreamingD boy without a shirt on C9
The Birmingham Dbarfly father left the mC9other
D C9 ...
of three sons. You're the oldest juvenile delinquent bum
