[Verse]
   C                               
An early mid-life crisis looms, and
 C
 for me to survive it
     Am                           
I'll find myself a motorbike, and 
Am
learn how to ride it
     C                             
I'll stop out where the grass is 
          C
dry and the hills are tall and black
    Am                           
And sleep under the spotted veil, 
          Am
with the dirt against my ba-
       F        F               C
-ai-ai-ack, the dirt against my back
C C

[Verse]
C                                 
When the eastern sky is blue and 
   C
the sparrows whisper low
Am                       Am
I will make my windy way across the 
desert slow
       C                          
To the cities and oases that have 
C
sin and life and hope
    Am                           
And find me a girl who looks like 
          Am
you, and dance and drink and smo-
   F    F                   C
-o-oke, dance and drink and smoke
C C

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
F                                  
Dance and drink and smoke with the 
C
dirt against my back
       Am                          
In the din we laugh and hope for 
  G
the future, present, past
F                             C
Rolling the dice, you come up sevens
 or snake eyes
       Am                        
At the end of the day, we'd have 
Em          F         C
stayed that way if we could

[Verse]
  C                                
I wake up close to where I fell, my
 C
 boots are in the fire
  Am                               
I rub my eyes and read the sky. The
 Am
 west is my desired
      F           G
destination? occupation?
    F      Fm
situation?    I don't know

[Chorus]
F                                  
Dance and drink and smoke with the 
C
dirt against my back
       Am                          
In the din we laugh and hope for 
  G
the future, present, past
F                             C
Rolling the dice, you come up sevens
 or snake eyes
       Am                        
At the end of the day, we'd have 
Em          F   F
stayed that way
       Am

Em          F   F
stayed that way
