E                      A        E
Take my hands, they're all I've got
            G#m7 C#m                  Amaj7   G#7+5
I ain't got no   nothing to prove but I    forgot

E                   A       E
Take my heart, I'll wear it out
    Am7/G     E                     F#7
The friends I make here all come at extra cost
            B7
What say we just get lost



CHORUS:
Notes:
If you play the first four chords as jazz voicings, you get a nice
descending bass-line, which is how SL plays them. The numbers in ()
alongside are the fingers you should use to fret the chords.

These will be unfamiliar to many and will require a lot of practice, as the
changes come reasonably quickly. 

Just below, I've indicated alternative ways to play the chords which should
be more manageable (but you lose that bass-line).

Chords:
E6b5   9x899x (2,1,3,4)    A     x77655

Edim   xx5650 or x7868x

      E6b5      F#7-5    G#m7  Edim
Just around the bend and back again
      A               D7/F#           E
Just another place to leave without a trace

      E6b5   F#7-5       G#m7     Edim
Just another mile down a dead-end drain
         A                 D7/F#               E
When the river turns, I'll come  down with the rain

Take my hand and twist my arms
            G#m7 C#m              Amaj7      G#7+5
I ain't got it   in me to set off bells and alarms

E                      A      E
Tell my mother I'm not coming home
     Am7/G   E                  F#7
