[C7]Jimmy[Cm7]
His [G7]secret's out[Gm7]
The [C7]one he locked ins[Cm7]ide and denied every [Gm]word about[F]
He's [C7]guilty [Cm7]
So his [G7]story claims[Gm7]
[C7]Twisting in his [Cm7]seat he repeats [Gm]alone his name[F]

Counting his [Bb]words
Bet[D]ween his every [Gm]line
Searching [Bb7/Ab]miles and miles to [Db6/9]define[Bb5/Eb]
Just what it [Ebsus4/Db]all means[Eb/Db][Ebsus4/Db][Eb7]

Jimmy
As quiet as a church mouse
Painted every graphic scene but with few details
His accomplice had made sure of this
When she sealed it with a bedspring kiss
And when his time had come to go
Jimmy washed all of the blood stains from her clothes

But with a needle is his vein
It became too hard to explain
Just what it all means

Counting the words between his every line
Searching mile and miles to define
Just what it all means

interlude (I'm really VERY "iffy" on these chords)
Cm F#/G# Gm9 F#dim? F Bm9 F/G C#m
then bass | G / | F / | E Eb D B | C# B G# C# |
(instrumental to chords from verse)

Counting his [Bb]words
Bet[D]ween his every [Gm]line
Searching [Bb7/Ab]miles and miles to [Db6/9]define[Bb5/Eb]
Just what it [Ebsus4/Db]all means[Eb/Db][Ebsus4/Db][Eb7]

Killing his time
A monkey in his vein
He knew he could not explain
Just what it all means
Just what it all means
