Under Lime

       C                      
It's a long way down from the high 
Bbsus2
horse you're on
          F                      
When you stumble and then you're 
Gsus4
thrown
        C                          
And the last time we say him he was
 Bbsus2
 out in the rain
Em            Am    Em           
Watchin' that train roll down the 
 Am
track
Em               Am      Em     
Now he's back in showbiz trying 
       Am
make a comeback


[Verse 2]
   C                               
We know that he's desperate and we 
Bbsus2
know that he's broke
         F                  
He's the mystery guest we'll 
 Gsus4
puncture
            C                
They told a young girl with a 
                 Bbsus2
clipboard "Just keep him amused"
    Em        Am        Em       
"Whatever you do, don't tell him 
     Am
your name"
    Em        Am   Em            
"Whatever you say, don't let him 
Am
drink"
      Bb                      G
Under lime, under lime, under lime


[Pre-Chorus]
   Eb       Dm              Eb   
He whistles out of tune his words
       Ebm    Bb
 don't always rhyme
    Eb      Dm                   
But we will be right back, we're 
Eb     Ebm    Bb
almost out of time


(Chorus)
                          G#     
Down a long corridor he's trying 
F# F   Bb
to impress
                          G#     
He was helpin' a showgirl fasten 
F# F   Bb
up her dress
And the clock on the wall 
     G#         F#   F Bb
tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

[Verse 3]
Continúa después del anuncio
       C                  
In the violent strip of an 
 Bbsus2
undressing room
    F                      Gsus4
She loosened his grip and started
C                          Bbsus2
Tell me your story, if you feel so 
inclined
Em       Am    Em       Am
He was a mess, almost resigned
Em               Am     Em      
Though she could guess, I think 
         Am
you will find
    Bb                      
She thought, "Oh you know, I 
          G
wouldn't mind"


[Pre-Chorus]
   Eb        Dm                    
He asked her boyfriend's name then 
Eb        Ebm    Bb
her whole family tree
    Eb         Dm                 
She thought "I can't believe it's 
Eb   Ebm     Bb
happening to me"


[Chorus]
And upset, said "Hey pet: would you 
G#     F#   F    Bb
kindly pass that pill
                        G#     
And allow me to just dictate my 
 F# F  Bb
dying will"
And the clock on the wall 
     G#         F#   F Bb
tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

C                         Bbsus2
Jimmy was dreamin' as she uncrossed 
her legs
   F                     Gsus4
He shuttered his eyes discreetly
       C                       
And he thought of a drummer and 
    Bbsus2
considered a snare
        Em          Am        
But the beat of his heart said, 
   Em          Am
"Don't even start"
    Em             Am           
His conscience was bare, it said, 
   Em              Am
"Hey, don't even dare"
Bb                  G
She's completely unaware


[Pre-Chorus]
    Eb       Dm                 
She forced a laugh or a sigh at 
Eb    Ebm Bb
every alibi
     Eb    Dm                     
Once every crime was confessed he 
Eb       Ebm    Bb
buttoned up his vest


[Chorus]
Said "Hey gal, you'r a pal, you've 
G#     F#   F  Bb
really been a sport
                           G#     
And you don't get a record if you 
F#    F   Bb
never get caught"
And the clock on the wall 
     G#         F#   F Bb
tick-tocked the time away

And the band starts to play

It's a long way down from the high 
Bbsus2
horse you're on

It's a long way back as you cover

Or you bury your crime
