(x6)


[Verse 1]
  E      D           A
I set up camp in the center of town
E         D               A
Ready for freedom when it all comes down
E           D        A
Snapping my fingers, walking around
        E     D            A
I'm the dusty jewel in the thrown-out crown


[Verse 2]
      E      D    A
Got a bus pass to make my way
     E          D              A
From hideout to hideout in the heat of the day
        E        D             A
I got a talisman tote with the whole array
             E        D                  A
And when you catch my coat-tails I'll be miles away


[Chorus]
E   D    A
Restless year
       E       D        A
It was another restless year
         E   D    A
It was a restless year
      E        D      A
For a while we had no fear


[Verse 2]
      E      D           A
Yeah, bloody nose in the all night diner
E            D             A
Rolling with Rose and Miss Mariel Steiner
    E             D         A
You can't pin her down, you can't define her
E    D      A
Dostoevsky, dime store copy

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Making the rounds in my five dollar dress
N.C.
I can't go home, though I'm not homeless
N.C.
I'm just another savage in the wilderness
N.C.
And if you can't calm down you can listen to this

[Chorus]
E   D    A
Restless year
       E       D        A
It was another restless year
         E   D    A
It was a restless year
              E          D             A
Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear
