RELAPSE

G Dm7

I looked around at the desolation

I saw the vacant stares

I gave my heart to purification

I cared and I shared

I filled my mind with the fruits of compassion

Opened up my soul

I implored and foreswore so impassioned

- cajoled, and consoled

Chorus:

Bb Dm F C

I’m lookin’ for love in a bottle

Bb Dm C/Am7

I’m fading to gray

Bb Dm F C

I’m seekin’ my needs in the needle

F C Gm ---C-F

Crankin’ the throttle I fly – away

(Break)

(Ch.)

Daylight is burnin’ a hole in my head

I’m swimmin’ in sweat – can’t get out of this bed

& the people I counted and once called my friends

are the same ones who swore they’d be here ‘till the end

& my heart pounds a tympani slammin’ my brain

& I don’t have a clue and I can’t kill the pain

and all that I ever thought that I knew

you could crush into powder and split it in two

because…

(Ch.)

I’m lookin’ for hope at the dope man’s

How I wish I could pray

Bb Dm F C

But I’m smoking the hole in my soul

Cranking the throttle I fly

Away
