Pink Floyd — The Final Cut (Waters)
F F/C C
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____
Bb add9 F
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time.
F F/C C
And far from flying high in clear blue skies___,
Bb add9 F
I’m spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
Bb F
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive,
Bb F
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes,
Bb C Dm
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Gm7
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
/C F
And if I’m in I’ll tell you what’s behind the wall.
Am F
There’s a kid who had a big hallucination
Am C
Making love to girls in magazines.
Bb Dm
He wonders if you’re sleeping with your new found faith.
Gm7
Could anybody love him
/C F F/C C Bb add9 F
Or is it just a crazy dream___?
F C
And if I show you my dark side
Bb F
Will you still hold me tonight?
F C
And if I open my heart to you
Bb
And show you my weak side,
F
What would you do?
Bb F
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Bb
Would you take the children away
F
And leave me alone?
Bb C
And smile in reassurance
Dm
As you whisper down the phone,
Gm7
Would you send me packing,
/C F
Or would you take me home?
Am F Am C Bb Dm Gm7 /C F
Am F
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Am C
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
Bb
I held the blade in trembling hands,
Dm Gm7
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang,
G C Bb add9 F
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
