Em
A worried man with a worried mind
Am
No one in front of me and nothing behind
Em                                               B7
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Em
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
Am
I'm looking up into the sapphire tempered skies
    Em                           B7   Em
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
C                               B7          Em
Standin' on the gallows with my head in the noose
C                                              B7
Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose 
Em
People are crazy and times are strange
    Am
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
Em                   B7          Em
I used to care but - things have changed. 
This place ain't doin' me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should've been in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancin' lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he got anythin' to prove
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed. 
I've been walkin' forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right the world will explode
I'm tryin' to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Puttin' her in a wheelbarrow and wheelin' her down the street
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed. 
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman that don't even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and miss Lucy they jumped in a lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies

I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
Eb                              D7          Gm
Standin' on the gallows with my head in the noose
Eb                                             D7
Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose
