Strum
D-DU-UDU
Is that smile for me
Or did you come by it honestly
Can I show you around
Can I help you tear your fences down
Cos' I know you foster few illusions
You suffer no fools
And you don't leave much to chance
But you're out past the breakers
And you're drifting fast
I can see it at a glance
You've been a long time locked inside
A long time on a lonely ride
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
Don't just waste away
Don't just waste away
as for intro)
Is that smile for me
Have you kept it hidden consciously
Like an old-time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
I've got no answers
No magic cures
And I've got no plans
But I know the darkness
That haunts your eyes
And I know those trembling hands
