G Em Am C

G            Em                
Hey when the need becomes too strong
Am
 or long
    C                   G
And drawn out for me to take
       Em                    Am   
Like a cigarette burn to the 
           C      G
fleshy turbines OF my heart
           Em                C    
That faded afternoon floats 
                G
breezily into my memory
                 Em             Am
Cool shafts of light appear and I'm 
left here
          C            G Em Am C x2
Standing naked on my own

G               Em           Am
Your voice is small on my voice mail
 system
    C              G
A million miles away
            Em
But if I turned it off
   Am                 C           
I would not hear the little things
      G
 you say
                    Em
"The world must chill"
           Am              C
And like a king I ring up old 
              G
acquaintances
                  Em             
It's like the man says "I ain't here
Am
 on business"
                   D
It's all work anyway
                C
On any other day
               Am                 D
They say the light has got no equal

On any other day

G            Em                
The date's irrelevant but she was 
Am
drunk
        C                G
In the heat of the June night
          Em               Am
The faces in the windows - shouts 
rang out
      C             G
Into dawn's early light
             Em                 
The flailing arms and scrambling 
   Am
eggs I fled

   C                 G
On my two shambling legs
          Em               Am
"I gotta go" I said - they both 
looked dead
              C
On any other day
               D
On any other day
               Am                  
They say the light has got no equal

On any other day
               D
On any other day
              Am                   D
They say the light has got no equal
    Am        C     G Em Am C x2
On any other day

G           Em
The fire blazed away
      Am              C           
The kitchen porch was all that D-m 
G
ained
             Em               Am
And I'm out here alone - beat up and
 pissed
   C              G
UN-til this very day
               Em            Am
That old hotel rang back in fuzzy 
time
           C             G
And I was ravaged to the bone
       Em                    
Your voice got smaller 'til I 
  Am
realized

C         D
It was gone
               C
On any other day
                Am             
They'd say the light has got no

equal
              C
On any other day
              D
On any other day
             Am                 D
I swear the light has got no equal
       Am     C   G Em Am C x2
On any other day

I realize
I realize
It was gone
