Em                   G
You're not unique in dying

The days are long now
                G
The ups and the sundowns
               A
And a twisting mind

Some imagined freedom

All the rest is predictable
Bm                     F#7
You can say you're the first to know
Em                 G
Bought a mantra to concentrate
Em           G       A
Car alarm or hissing snake

D
I know now
                  F#m
How it's going to turn now

You got to calm down

Got to get to the concert

Run off with a dancer

Precious friend of mine?
