    Oh, living the life of a madman's wife, has got to be unreal 
                 Eb                 Bb 
    'cause she's got to hold on to ground control 
          Eb                     Bb 
    While jack does what he feels 
             Eb                  Bb 
    Well he stays away, and then he comes home 
           Eb                      Bb 
    And he never knows where he's been 
           Eb                      Bb 
    Jack blasts downtown then he's over the line 
         Eb                   Bb 
    And then he's a kid again 

                   Gm   D7                          Gm

              Eb                Bb                       Eb                Bb

         Eb         Bb                      Eb                Bb
