Back To Business

A  D

[Verse]
A
Show me signs, show me billboards,
D
something to guide my way.
A
I walk with purpose in darkness,
D
stumble in the light of day.

G
So won't you help me?
D
Won't you help me out?
E
I'm starting over here.

Bm          D             A       E
And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake.
Bm         D                 A     E
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake.
Bm        D              A           E
When we awake, oh, it's back to business,
       D            E      A
to the business of hanging on.

A
And all these one-way conversations,
D
and drinks that don't quench my thirst.
A
I look to you for some answers.
D
Your silence, it hangs like a curse.

G
So won't you help me?
D
Won't you help me out?
E
I'm starting over here.

Bm          D             A       E
And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake.
Bm         D                 A     E
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake.
Bm        D              A           E
When we awake, oh, it's back to business,
       D            E      A
to the business of hanging on.
       D            E      G   D
to the business of letting go.

                      G       D
What you do, you do it slow.
                      G       D
cause I could read the lines,
                   G        A
read them in your eyes.

Bm          D             A       E
And I'm so tired, I can't stay awake.
Bm         D                 A     E
Nothing is safe, but so much at stake.
Bm        D              A           E
When we awake, oh, it's back to business,
       D            E      A
to the business of hanging on.
       D            E       A
to the business of growing cold,
       D            E       A
to the business of facing facts,
       D            E       A
to the business of letting go.
