Verse
D                   Bm     D 
Gravitated towards a taste 
D                           Bm     D 
For foreign films and modern plays 
D 
But that machine could only 
Bm                          D 
Bend to squares five to six times 
D                       Bm 
Before your fingers came unwired 
 
Pre-chorus
Dsus4                                  Bm 
   Weights down so that you could move forwards, forwards 
                  Em 
so you could move forwards, forwards

Verse
D                          Bm      D 
Pinch to snub that restless nerve 
D                             Bm      D 
And knock the wind from one last urge 
D                      Bm           
With two fingers and a rock glass, 
Bm                       D     
time passed and that was that 
D                  Bm 
Quite a slip (a loosened grasp) 
 
Pre-chorus
Dsus4                                  Bm 
   Weights down so that you could move forwards, forwards 
                  Em                 Gb5 Db(b5) Gb5 Db(b5) 
so you could move forwards, forwards

D           Bm         G 
uuuh what a way to cut lengthwise 
D           Bm         G 
uuuh what a way to cut lengthwise 
D           Bm         G 
uuuh what a way to cut lengthwise 
D           Bm         G 
uuuh what a way to cut lengthwise
