The Stanfields - Mainline

      [Intro]
Em


[Verse 1]
     Em                     G
With no one as my witness I solemnly declare
    D                       Am
I'm drunk with paranoia and rendered unaware
    Em                         G
The engines of the universe conspire to grind my bones
D                B7                    Em
Sell my pound of flesh and give up the Ghost


[Chorus]
            G
Give up the ghost
            C   G
Down on the mainline
            C   G       D
Too bad the sun doesn't shine
                Am
On the road you take
                   Em
Nor the ground you tread
                 Bm
Take a couple of these
           Am
Go back to bed
              Bm           C
And live your life another day


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
       Em                          G
I have dreams where I am living in solitary bliss
           D                                  Am
And I have dreams where I'm about to die in a watery abyss
  Em                        G
I spend my waking hours pixelated and engrossed
            D                    B7                 Em
In mixed up signals, pick up the phone, give up the Ghost


[Chorus]
            G
Give up the Ghost
            C   G
Down on the mainline
            C   G       D
Too bad the sun doesn't shine
                    Am
In the cave of your heart
                    Em
Or the back of your mind
                 Bm
Take a couple of these
               Am
Leave it all behind
              Bm           C
And live your life another day

[Bridge]
C                        G
I lost the pulse of your rhythm
              D             Am
When I put my faith in chemicals
      C                            Em
Now I find the sound of laughter unnerving
           Bm                    B7
As for the dreams, they come and go
