Extra Mile

[Verso 1]
 
C                          G/B 
    Imagine me younger and bummin' around 
        Am7            D       G 
    An academy town, ghost of campus 
C                          G/B 
    Doglegging across that lightening lawn 
                  Am7            D    G 
    I could write     my name on any surface 
C                            G/B 
    I sent out a wish to the stars in the plough 
           Am7           D      G 
    It's a memory now, season's edge

     D     G    D       C 
    How serene does it get?

B7           Em          G/B    C 
    It's the second-best thing to a cigarette 
B7             Em    G/B          C 
    Something shiny against the gloom 
D           G                C 
    It's become my emotional alphabet

C                                 G/B 
    The snow's coming down on the rue du cool shoes 
             Am7              D/F#     G 
    When the gatekeeper crews come to find m 
C                                  G/B 
    Crushed down into dust then, I blew through th street 
              Am7              D/F#         G 
    Where the rainmakers meet, life passed by me 
C                          G/B 
    I saw you again in the babbling crowd 
              Am7             D/F#     G 
    You were shouting aloud, "Fix your eyes!

  D           G          D      C 
Stand your ground, it's cool to   laugh

    You can ask for the actor's autograph 
B7           Em            C        B7  Em  C 
    But he's only made out of light 
D               G                   C 
    All that's left of you now is this paragraph

    Extra mile 
     D        G 
    Hard and good 
    D      C 
    All on   foot

B7          Em      D              C 
    I threw into a game that I'll never win 
B7         Em         D                C 
    And I blew it, so   screw it, I'll   start again 
B7            Em           D  C 
    I've hung out on some ho-ly turf 
B7         Em       D      C 
    But it never comes out   to much 
B7          Em         D  C 
    I have shone in a sil---ver surf 
 

Outro 
C              D                A#maj7 
    There's a song can I almost  sing 
B7          Em            D    C 
    And I think it could be my   special thing 
B7         Em    D        C           B7  Em  C 
    It can turn to a kind   of crutch 
D         G            C 
    It unfolds like a kind of wing
