[Verse]
             Ab7                        
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
                 Ab7                 
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
                         Ab7   
If I said that you're my friend
    Ab7                     
And our love would never end
                                 B    
How long before I had your trust again
Abm7                              Ab7         
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
                  Ab7                 
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
              Ab         
But how can I protect you
              Ab7        
Or try not to neglect you
                        Ab             F     
When you won't take the love I have to ■ give


[Chorus]
               Ab      
I bought me an illusion
                   F   
An I put it on the wall
                 Ab              
I let it fill my head with dreams
                       Fm 
And I had to have them all
                    Eb            
But oh the taste is never so sweet
                      Eb   
As what you'd believe it is
Eb                      
Well I guess it never is
                      Eb       
It's these prejudiced illusions
     Eb            
That pump the blood
                    Gb  Ab Ab7
To the heart of the biz ■  ■  


[Verse]
                 Ab7    
You know I never thought
Ab7                       
That it could take so long
Ab7                                   
You know I never knew how to be strong
               Ab7     
Yeah I let you shape me
                           Ab7     
But it feels as though you raped me
                             Ab7  
'cause you climbed inside my world
          Abm7  B
And in my songs ■
Gb                 Ab7     
So now I've closed the door
                 Ab7    
To keep the cold outside
                   Ab7                   
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
              Ab7       
But how can I forget you
              Ab        
Or try not to reject you
                     Ab7           Db7     Gb
When we both know it takes time to forgive ■ 


[Chorus]
Ab7            Gb7   
Sweetness is a virtue
        Ab7                      
And you lost your virtue long ago
                  Gb7        
You know I'd like to hurt you
       Ab7                          
But my conscience always tells me no
                         Ab7          
You could sell your body on the street
               Ab7           
To anyone whom you might meet
                      Ab7       
Who'd love to try and get inside
                        B7       
And bust your innocence open wide
       Ab7                       
'cause my baby's got a locomotive
                       Ab7  
My baby's gone off the track
                Ab7       
My baby's got a locomotive
                      Ab7        
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
                         Ab    
I know it looks like I'm insane
       Abm                    B    
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
Abm7 Ab7 Abm7 Ab7                                     
No   ■   ■    Gonna have some fun with my frustrations


[Verse]
Ab7                                  
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
    Ab7                 
I'd rather take a detour
            Ab7                       
'cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
                                     Abm7 
Your train of thought has cut me off again
                 Ab7                       
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Ab7                                
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Ab7                           
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
              Ab7                   
You's gettin' too big for your pants
              Ab7             
And I's think maybe you should
              Ab7    
Cut out while you can


[Chorus]
F                        
You can use your illusion
       Ab                   
Let it take you where it may
F                
We live and learn
                        Ab               
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
Fm                         
Me I'm just here hangin' on
     Eb                            
It's my only place to stay at least
Eb            
For now anyway
                Eb                   
I've worked too hard for my illusions
                       Gb Abm7
Just to throw them all ■  away
Ab7                              
I'm taking time quiet consolation


[Verse]
                                      Abm7
In passing by this love that's passed away
  Ab7                 
I know it's never easy
                  Ab        
So why should you believe me
                                       Abm B
When I've always got so many things to say ■
Abm7    Ab7     Abm7          Ab7           
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
       Ab7           
'cause playful hearts
    Ab7                 
Can sometimes be enraged
    Ab7                     
You know I tried to wake you
       Ab7                       
I mean how long could it take you
                              Db7     
To open up your eyes and turn the page


[Chorus]
Ab7                   
Kindness is a treasure
         Ab7                               
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
   Ab7                          
So I'd say it for a good measure
   Ab7                             
To all the ones like you I've known
                    Gb7            
Ya know I'd like to shave your head
    Gb7                              
And all my friends could paint it red
Ab7                   Db7           
'cause love to me's a two way street
   Ab7                       
An all I really want is peace
       Ab7                    
But my baby's got a locomotive
Ab7                         
My baby's gone off the track
Ab7                       
My baby's got a locomotive
Ab7                              
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
                     Abm7 Ab7   
I know it looks like I'm  insane
                              B    
Take a closer look I'm not to blame

[Verse]
                  Ab7     
No Affection is a blessing
                        Ab7         
Can you find it in your sordid heart
                           Gb7     
I tried to keep this thing tagether
        Ab7            B        
But the tremor tore my pad apart
                 Gb7     F7  
Yeah I know it's hard to face
Ab7                                      
When all we've worked for's gone to waste
           Ab7                
But you're such a stupid woman
        Ab7              
And I'm such a stupid man
F                    B7               
But love like time's got its own plans
          Ab7                    
'cause my baby's got a locomotive
                       Ab7  
My baby's gone off the track
                Ab7       
My baby's got a locomotive
                      Ab7        
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
  Ab7                          
I know it looks like I'm insane
       Ab7                         
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
                Ab                              B   
Yeah If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane
