 G                        Am           D      G    C  G
Make believe you're on a boat without water around
                       Am        D7         G   C  G
Picture yourself at a circus without any clowns
  Am                      D                  Bm  Em
Pretend that you're on a highway without any e----nd
     Am                   Bm
Then empty the ashtray, sweep up the floor
       Em         A7                     Am           D
Put a lock on your door and if somebody calls in the morning
      D7           G            C G 
Just say we don't live here no mo--re.

  G                     Am         D        G   C  G
Draw me a picture of an island without any seas
                       Am            D7         G   C  G
Show me a map of the whole world without boundaries
 Am                      D                     Bm Em
Build me a home without windows or doors to go i----n
     Am                   Bm
Then empty the ashtray, sweep up the floor
       Em         A7                     Am           D
Put a lock on your door and if somebody calls in the morning
      D7           G            C G 
Just say we don't live here no mo--re.

  G                         Am           D         G   C  G
Dream of the time when the tides ebbing now rise again
                            Am         D7       G   C  G
Then you will know that to die is not really to end
 Am                   D                       Bm  Em
Living and dying are both your most intimate fri--ends
   Am                   Bm
So empty the ashtray, sweep up the floor
       Em         A7                     Am           D
Put a lock on your door and if somebody calls in the morning
      D7           G            C G 
Just say we don't live here no mo--re.
        Am                    D
And if somebody calls in the morning
      D7           G            C G 
Just say we don't live here no mo--re.
