From: DevnGreen@aol.com


verse1
G           D    G               D
Half past 9, quarter to ten
G   D                   A
10:15, and we're coming around again
G      D                   G        D
hold off, are we going soft?
G               D                       A
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
G      D            G             D
Found out, and i almost drowned
G                D                       A
Walked back down, and we're coming around again


{Chorus:}
E5             A5
   If I could talk I'd tell you
E5             G#5
   If I could smile I'd let you know
E5          A5
   You are far and away
F#5          A5
   My most imaginary friend

{Repeat Chorus}

G            D             G              D
Khmer Rhouge, and genocide qua
G                          D                       A
Your place or mein kempf, now i'm givin' the dog a bone
G      D                        G           D
slight hunch, without the vaguest clue
G                      D                             A
to keep the blood balanced, now we're coming around again
G           D    G          D
half past 9, quarter two,
G   D          A
10:15, and we're comin' around again


{Chorus:}
E5             A5
   If I could talk I'd tell you
E5             G#5
   If I could smile I'd let you know
E5          A5
   You are far and away
F#5          A5
   My most imaginary friend


{Instrumental/Whistle Solo over verse chords}

{Chorus:}
E5             A5
   If I could talk I'd tell you
E5             G#5
   If I could smile I'd let you know
E5          A5
   You are far and away
F#5          A5
   My most imaginary friend
