E                  B            A
So the certanty is I can get no air,
         B         E
Getting nowhere at all,
                   B            A
Open-ended and suspended one by one,
         B
In the slipstream,

Emotion starts to lag,
E                       B
With panache I keep a-crashing,
             A
Through the sky,
       B
No compassion have I.

E                     B           A
Kick a kiss of superstition and I cry,
         B            E
"Just a guide or I throw
                     B
All the panic I can muster,
        A            B
Threatening to the cluster";

Discretion's such a drag,
E                   B              A
But I know his apparatus snows my mind,
         E                      (Em  G  Em  G)
When it gets too far out.

 no guitar, I think

Em
Guard the ribs and fall,
           G
I long to catch my breath, condemm it all
Em
As the number I become,
      G
They count me out a volunteer.

 no guitar, I think again

Am            Em            Am      C      Em
See how they run in silence up the belfry steps,
Am        Em            Am            C         Em
Each unaffected by the sight of the blistered skin;

Am          Em               Am          C        Em
Someone to calm me till the pounding in my head stops,
Am        Em                Am          C     Em

I'll leave My Baby Treats Me Right 'Cos I'm A Hard Lovin' Man All Night Long
to all you pianoists, keyboardists, organists and organisms for tabbing.
As you might know there isn't any guitar in it (I'm sure about that).

                                                Peas, love and understanding
