The Final Cut

F                                 
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear
         F/C   C
 stained eyes____
      Bbadd9                    
I can barely define the shape of 
               F
this moment in time
    F                            
And far from flying high in clear 
      F/C   C
blue skies___,
    Bbadd9                         
I'm spiralling down to the hole in 
                  F
the ground where I hide

If you negotiate the minefield in 
the drive, ::

Bb                                
And beat the dogs and cheat the 
   F ::
cold electronic eyes, ::

Bb         C                    
And if you make it past the

Dial the combination, open the 
priesthole ::

There's a kid who had a big

Making love to girls in magazines

He wonders if you're sleeping with

your new found faith

Could anybody love him

And if I show you my dark side

                    Bb   F
Will you still hold me tonight?
    F            C
And if I open my heart to you
                     Bb
And show you my weak side,
               F
What would you do?
Bb                                
Would you sell your story to

Rolling Stone? ::

Bb ::
Would you take the children away ::

F ::
And leave me alone? ::
 ::
    Bb           C ::
And smile in reassurance ::

       Dm ::
As you whisper down the phone, ::

Would you send me packing, ::

 C                   F
Or would you take me home?
