      “The Twist”
The Swirling Eddies

[Intro]
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C

[Verse]
Dm         Am7
Hang on, believe
Bb              C
There’s nothing up my sleeve
Dm            Am7           Bb        C
I've got no magic tricks to save the day
Dm           Am7
Put down the gun
Bb                    C
You're not helping anyone
Dm                Am7       Bb      C
And I'm not about to run or back away
Dm             Am7
Don't walk the fence
Bb           C
Then come to my defense
Dm                Am7               Bb         C
I don't need fair weather kinds of friends around
   Dm         Am7
So watch and pray
Bb                  C
As a traitor's kiss betrays
Dm            Am7               Bb  C
And rest your feet of clay on shaky ground

[Chorus]
Gm7
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it
A7
Tell me you still love me just a little bit
     Gm7
Or nail me down, break the skin
Gm7
Hard enough to do me in
A7
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling
A7
Twisting in the wind

[Verse]
Dm             Am7
Here, touch my side
Bb            C
Let doubt be crucified
Dm               Am7               Bb          C
Nailed with your wounded pride to love's grim altar
      Dm        Am7
Here, taste my flesh
Bb        C
My bloody humanness
Dm      Am7                Bb        C
I am no phantom guest, No skinless martyr
   Dm         Am7
So taste and feel
Bb              C
There's nothing to conceal
Dm          Am7               Bb    C
You always knew the deal was sacrifice
      Dm      Am7
Stand up, be strong
Bb              C
When all you've got is gone
Dm         Am7                Bb    C
I left the light turned on in paradise

[Chorus]
Gm7
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it
A7
Tell me you still love me just a little bit
   Gm7
Or nail me down, break the skin
Gm7
Hard enough to do me in
           A7
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling
A7
Twisting in the wind

[Instrumental]
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C

[Chorus]
Gm7
And look me in the face, at least what's left of it
A7
Tell me you still love me just a little bit
     Gm7
Or nail me down, break the skin
Gm7
Hard enough to do me in
A7
But don't leave me hanging, dying and dangling
A7
Twisting in the wind

[Verse]
             Dm         Am7
And when the walls cave in
        Bb               C
And the curtain's torn asunder
Dm                Am7
You'll know we're near the end
Bb             C
You'll hear me in the thunder
Dm            Am7
And when the sun grows dim
Bb                  C
This will be your sign and wonder
Dm              Am7
That soon we'll meet again
Bb            C
Just like we did last summer

[Instrumental]
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
Dm  Am7  Bb  C
