[Verse]

E                        Em
Monday morning I've been drinking 
with a friend
          A
Spent the past week chasing heaven 
but
  Am              D
I just seem to descend
E                     Em
Into places I wish no one had to go
          A
Guess I'm looking like I'm high on 
life
         Am            D
But I've never felt so low


[Pre Chorus]

Cmaj7            Bm7   Am7       
Only passing time just hoping to 
  Bm7
unwind


[Verse 2]

E                        Em
Late December only god knows where 
I've been
         A
But I've heard the sign of witness
         Am          D
she's my document of sin
E                   Em
So before you say I act like someone
 else
        A
Tell me what else I should do when
          Am            D
I'm still waiting for myself


[Pre Chorus 2]

Cmaj7            Bm7   Am7       
Only passing time just hoping to 
  Bm7
unwind


[Chorus]

             E       A/C#    
Cause it's a strange world and 
  Am           C/G
strangest of all is the
D/F#      D        G    B7
Fact that I'm with you
               E       A/C#       
I've done some strange things and 
Am           C/G
strangest of all
        D/F#
are the things
  D      G     F
I didn't do to end up with the
Em              A
transatlantic blues
Em              A
transatlantic blues

[Verse 3]

E                           Em
I've been drifting like the wind 
across the seas
        A
Now I'm washed up on the same shores
          Am                  D
Where the breeze once carried me
E                        Em
All I have left is every word I 
never said
       A                        
When I see you every one of them 
       Am           D
still echoes in my head


[Pre Chorus 3]

Cmaj7            Bm7   Am7       
Only passing time just hoping to 
  Bm7
unwind


[Chorus 2]

             E       A/C#    
Cause it's a strange world and 
  Am           C/G
strangest of all is the
D/F#      D        G    B7
Fact that I'm with you
               E       A/C#       
I've done some strange things and 
Am           C/G
strangest of all
        D/F#
are the things
  D      G     F

[Bridge]

Em                              D
I know it's a woman's world and 
                 Am7
lord knows that I had my share
Em                              D
I've been close to paradise but 
           Am
no one ever took me there
Em                    D           
Against the chain and ended up in my
Am
 own hell
Em                               
Now I've finally got the time to 
D           Am
realize how far I fell

[Bridge 2]

Am       D
Well you broke me I can hardly 
breathe
Am        D
Pour that magic potion over me
Am      D
Come on kill me with your sweet 
caress
Am      D
Help me come alive with every little
 bit
