Intro: G C9 G C9
[G]Michael,[C9] where a[G]re you n[C9]ow? x2
Somehow in my e[D]xcitement the last time [C9]you called,
It slipped again to [D]ask your hidden whereabouts[C9]
I got a lead from your o[D]ld triple ex-girlfriend,
she [C9]said "I heard he lost his [D]mind again"
"Again?" I said, I didn't [C9]know that you [Bm7]ever did[C9]
[G]Michael[C9], where [G]are you [C9]now? x2
Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired
Getting high in southern air
Shoeless, sandy evenings down the unfamiliar
Last whiff of salt-water freedom
Skipping shells in the dead zone
G C9 D C9 DF#
With the ghost on your side
G C9 D C9 DF#
Of the state borderline, whispering
G C9 D C9 DF#
"Take it, take it, take it, take it
G C9 D (just bass C F# G?)
Take it ...
(guitar rhythm is more flowing here)
(tacit) G C9
Do you remember our first subway ride?
[G]Our first heavy metal [C9]haircuts?
[G]Our last swim on the e[C9]ast coast?
[G]And me with my ridiculous looking [C9]pierced nose?
I remember your[D] warm smile in the sun[C9]
The daydreaming[D] boy without a shirt on[C9]
The Birmingham [D]barfly father left the m[C9]other
D C9 ...
of three sons. You're the oldest juvenile delinquent bum
(tacit 8 beats)
G C9 (repeat 8 times total)
My best friend
