Michael      Where are you, now?


                 
D                          Cadd9

Somehow in my excitement, the last time you called



                    D                   Cadd9   

it slipped again to ask your hidden whereabouts.


                       D


I got a lead from your old triple-ex-girlfriend



    Cadd9                      D                       

She said, "I heard he lost his mind again"

    

                          Cadd9


"Again?" I said i didn't know that you ever did.

Michael         Where are you, now?


Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired
Getting high in southern air
Shoeless, sandy eveing down the unfamiliar
Last whiff of salt-water freedom
Skipping shells in the dead zone



G        Cadd9            A#      Fadd9   Eadd9


With the ghost on your side

G        Cadd9            A#      Fadd9   Eadd9

of the state's borderline

         whispering

G        Cadd9            A#      Fadd9   Eadd9

take it  take it...

G        Cadd9            A#      Fadd9   Eadd9   Cadd9


do you remember our first subway ride?
our first heavy metal haircuts?
our last swim on the east coast?
and me with my ridiculous looking pierced nose?
i remember your warm smile in the sun
the daydreaming boy without a shirt on
the birmingham barfly father
left the mother of three sons
you're the oldest juvenile delinquent bum
my best friend

The A# can be played in the form of open-G, played at the sixth
fret (or A# on 1st fret)
The Fadd9 is in the form of Cadd9, played at the
eighth fret (or F major on 1st fret)
The Eadd9 is in the form of Cadd9, played at the
seventh fret (or a D major sounds ok)
