LINES IN THE SUIT
Intro
A/Dm

AmDm E Am Dm
i'm on a straight line when a man comes around
E Am Dm
and he got lines in the suit
E Am Dm
coming out to make us moot
E Am Dm
i'm moving on now if i like it or not
E Am Dm
he says i've got nowhere to go
E Am Dm
tell me something i don't know
E A
he's painting it out like i don't want to know

A/G

F A
the picture has come down
Dm A
i'm taking it off and throwing it out
F A Dm F
the picture is about what could have been easier
G A
the picture is coming around now
Dm F
how come i feel so washed up
G A
at such such a tender age now
Dm F
how come i feel so washed up
G A
the picture is coming around now
Dm F
it could have been easier
G A
at such a such a tender age

(play intro again and use the same chords as the first two verses for the
rest)

i'm listening to the comforting sound
of some kind of work being done outside
of sounds from next door the walls don't hide
i'm listening to mountain to sound
and the way it's panned is cool
but when i get back home to you
there's got to be something more than that too

the human resource clerk
has two cigarettes and back to work
she eats right but hurts
and she says it could have been good by now
it could have been more than a wage yeah
how come she feels so washed up
at such a such a tender age now
it could have been easier
it could have been more than a wage
how come she feels so washed up at such a tender age

i'm on a straight line and a man comes around
and i got nowhere to go
come back and tell something i don't know



remember that it came at a steep price
Eb D7
and keep telling yourself there's more to you than her

F Bb Cm Dm Eb
but you're no better than sylvia, no better than...
Bb Cm Dm Eb
no better than sylvia
Gm Cm F Bb
where you gone where you been and where you gone
Eb D7 Gm G
oh no.

Gm
(vibes and whoosh sounds)


- the chorus is a little funky with all the overlaps,
but the chords are right...
