The Final Cut
Ton : FEnglish
Couplet
FThrough the fish-eyed lens of tear stained F/Ceyes, C
I can Bb(add9)barely define the shape of this moment in time. F
And far from flying high in clear blue F/Cskies, C
I'm Bb(add9)spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I Fhide.
Couplet
Bb If you negotiate the Fminefield in the drive,
Bb And beat the dogs and cheat the cold Felectronic eyes,
Bb And if you Cmake it past the Dmshotguns in the hall,
Gm7 Dial the combination, open the priesthole, and if I'm in I'll tell you... F
Am There's a kid who had a big Fhallucination,
Am Making love to girls in Cmagazines.
He Bbwonders if you're sleeping with your new Dmfound faith.
Gm7 Could anybody love him,
Or is it just a Ccrazy Fdream? (Aah, CAah, Bb(add9)Aah, Aah) F
Refrain
FAnd if I show you my dark Cside,
Will you still Bbhold me tonight? F
And if I open my Cheart to you,
Show you my weak Bbside,
What would you do? F
Couplet
Bb Would you sell your story to Rolling FStone?
Bb Would you take the children away... and Fleave me alone?
Bb And smile in Creassurance as you Dmwhisper down the phone,
Gm7 Would you send me packing,
COr would you take me Fhome?

Couplet
Am Thought I oughta bare my naked Ffeelings.
AmThought I oughta tear the curtain Cdown.
I Bbheld the blade in trembling hands,
DmPrepared to make it, but...
Gm7 Just then the phone rang,
I never had the nerve to make the final Ccut. Bb(add9) F
