[Pre-Verse]
Ab
[Verse 1]
AbGonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend
And our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again B
I Abopened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you
Or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give
[Pre-Chorus]
FmI bought me an illusion An I Abm
put it on the wall
FmI let it fill my head with dreams
And AbmI had to have them all
But Fmoh the taste is never so sweet
EbAs what you'd believe it is
Well I guess it never is
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
To the heart of the Gbbiz
[Verse 2]
Ab You Abknow I never thought
That it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me
But I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world
And in my songs
So now I've closed the door
To keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you
Or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive Db Gb
[Chorus]
AbSweetness Gis a virGbtue
FAnd you lostE your virtue long ago B
You Abknow I'd Glike to hurtGb you
FBut my Econscience always tells me no B
You could Absell your Gbody Gbon the Fstreet
To Eanyone whom you might Bmeet
Who'd Ablove to Gtry and Gbget inside F
And Ebust your innoEbcence open wide
'Cause my Abbaby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
Db IAb knowDb it Ablooks like AbI'm Dbinsane Ab Db Ab
Db Take Aba cloDbser lookAb I'm not Dbto blame B
[Solo 2]
Ab No
[Verse 3]
AbGonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour
'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
B AbBetter tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
You's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should
Cut out while you can
[Pre-Chorus]
FYou can use your illusion Let it Ab
take you where it may
FWe live and learn
And then sometimes Abit's best to walk away F
Me I'm just here hangin' on
It's Ebmy only place to stay at least
For now anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all aGbway
[Verse 4]
Ab I'm Abtaking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy
So why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts
Can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you
I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page Db Gb
[Chorus]
AbKindness Gis a treaGbsure
FAnd it's oneE towards me you've seldom shown B
So I'll Absay it Gfor good Gbmeasure F
To Eall the ones like you I've Bknown
Ya Abknow I'd Glike to shaveGb your Fhead
And allE my friends could Paint it red
B
'Cause Ablove to Gme's a Gbtwo way Fstreet
An allE I reallyEb want is peace
But my Abbaby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
Db IAb know Dbit looksAb like AbI'm DbinsAbane Db Ab
Db Take Aba cloDbser lookAb I'm not Dbto blame B

FBut the treEmor tore my pad apart B
AbYeah I Gknow it's Gbhard to face F
When allE we've worked for's gone to waste B
But you're Absuch a stupid Gwoman
And I'm Gbsuch a stupid Fman
But Elove like time's Ebgot its own plans
'Cause my Abbaby's got a locomotive
My baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive
