half of me

[Intro]
Dm7


[Verse 1]
(Dm7)                        G7
Half of me is tied up in our life
        Dm7                         G7
But half of me keeps one eye on the knife
Gm             Gm/F             Eb         Dm7
Called upon by spirits from the golden cemetery
    Gm          Gm/F Gm/E                     D7
I'm living in a fantasy that I'm ever cutting free of that


[Verse 2]
    Dm7                      G7
Half of me who is timid and afraid
        Dm7                                  G7
But half of me wants to leave the life we've made
    Gm             Gm/F        Eb               Dm7
And go out blazing trails in a haze of rock and roll
       Gm             Gm/F               Gm/E
But my other half she laughs like it's a joke
                 D7
Fighting for the soul



[Verse 3]
       Dm7                           G7
Of half of me ñ that is all she ever gets
        Dm7                            G7
But half of me knows that half of me regrets
Gm              Gm/F                Eb           Dm7
Ripping through the years without a hope of happiness
    Gm            Gm/F        Gm/E                  D7
But failure never held me any fears until I had success
      Bb       Gm                        Dm7    Bb   Gm    Dm7
But half of me    deserves everything he gets



[Verse 4]
(Dm7)                    G7
Half of me is ready to retire
    Dm7                              G7
But half of me is still riven with a fire
Gm            Gm/F           Eb              Dm7
Driving me to conjure up the passions of the past
  Gm            Gm/F             Gm/E                  D7
Undignified and faithless to the last and so it has to be
         Bb     Gm                     Dm7    Bb
That half of me    is forever running free
             Gm    Dm7
From half of me
