D F C G You're movin' through rough waters motel boy, D F C and swimming in your sleep. D F C G How could I be so blind, missighted, D F C not to see there's something wounded deep? Well, anyone could scratch your surface now It's all amphetamine You're blasting yourself into the present To blur some past indignity, say that F G You say that you hate it, F G you want to re-create it Chorus: Em C G D I've been around, I've been your lover. Em C F I let it go at Kill Devil Hill, Em C G You're coming onto something so fast, so numb D C that you can't even feel.
