Intro: Cm Bb Ab Bb (Repeat)
[Cm]Emma's come down.[Eb][Bb]
[Cm]She's stopped the light
Shining out of [F]her eyes.
[Cm]Emma's been run out on.[Eb][Bb]
[Cm]She's breaking down
In so[F] many places,
[Cm]Stuck in low gear
Because[F] of her fears
Of the skiddi[Cm]ng wheels,[Gm]
(The skid o[F]f her wheels she feels.)
[Cm]Skidding wheels,[Gm]
(The skid [F]of her wheels she feels.)
[Cm]Spinning wheels.[Gm]
[F](Wheel-skidding feeling.)
[Bb] [Eb] Her heart is ther[Bb]e,
[Eb] But they've greased the road.[Bb]
[Eb] Her heart is out th[Bb]ere,[Eb]
But she's no control.[Bb][Eb][Bb][Eb]
C[C]ome on, you've got to use your flow.[Ab]

[Gb] Don't drive too slowly.[Eb]
[Gb] Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.[Ab]
[B]Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.[A]
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [Cm]
(She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...)
[Dm]She's losing that inner flame[F].
It was burni[Dm]ng bright,
But she's losing t[G]he light fast.
[Dm]She's only herself to[F] blame.
Well, take care of [Dm]yourself,
And remember Ge[G]orgie.
But she's so O.D.[Dm]'d on weeping
She can hardly [G]see
That she's droppin[Dm]g beads.
[G](Red, red glass is bleeding.)
[Dm]Dropping beads.
[G](Red, red glass is bleeding.)
[Dm]Dropping beads.
[G](Red, red on the parquet.)
[C] [F] Her heart is there,[C]
[F] But they've greased the road.[C]
[F] Her heart is out ther[C]e,[F]
But she's no control.[C][F][C][F]
[C]Come on, you've got to use your flow.[Ab]
You know[C] what it's like, and you know you want to go.[Ab]
[Gb] Don't drive too slowly.[Eb]
[Gb] Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.[Ab]
[B]Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.[A]
Oh, come[D] on, you've got to use your flow.[Bb]
You know [D]what it's like, and you know you want to go.[Bb]
[Ab] Don't drive too slowly.[F]
[Ab] Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.[Bb]
[Db] Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.[B]
