Intro:
D, C, Bm, C - 3 times through the cycle
Verse 1:
DC
Well these late night conversations
BmC
Leave a strange taste like French cigarettes
DC
And these coloured drinks that you keep on throwing at me
BmC
Just keep on reminding me that I came to forget
Break:
D, C, Bm, C - 2 times through the cycle
Verse 2:
DC
So now every night you insist on reminding me
BmC
Of my lost possibilities and the stains on the wall
DC
But I don't mean to complain but it hurts just the same
BmC
And now both of us know the leaves will fall on their own
Chorus 1:
G
Just throw me a line that's all that I ask
Well it's sink or swim and I'm going fast
I need love, and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool
Break
G for four bars
D, C, Bm, C - twice
Verse 3:
DC
Yeah you tell me life is for living
BmC
It's best in the giving but it's so hard to be free
DC
Still I do my best but you refuse my gift
BmC
And now all that we share is a collection of tears
Solo:
D, C, Bm, C - 8 times through the cycle
Chorus:
G
Just throw me a line that's all that I ask
Well it's sink or swim and I'm going fast
I need love, and it's you
And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool
End:
G for four bars
D, C, Bm, C - repeat until fade out
