Intro
G  G  G  G

Verse
G
I can't forget your solar smile
                                   Dm      C
And now the pavement's cracked on miracle mile
 G
Our Mount Vesuvius is dead
                              Dm         C
But still the lava's running through my head

F                      Am
 What's the point it's over
                  G    Am           D
You're making me feel like a fifth wheel

Verse
 G
The dogs are howling in the street
                         Dm      C
I cook my dinner then forget to eat
 G
Pick up a book and put it down
                           Dm       C
I don't need Hemingway to bring me down

Pre-Chorus
F               Am                  G
 Like a song I can't get out of my head
 C         D F
What can I do

Chorus
        C                    G#   F      C  F G#
I need something to take my mind off of you
        C                    G# F    C    F G#
I need something to shake my memory loose

Verse
 G
Not even Billy Holiday
                              Dm     C
Is gonna help me chase these blues away
G
I can't begin to shut it down
                            Dm     C
The heat is raisin' in the burial ground

Pre-Chorus
F               Am                  G
 Like a song I can't get out of my head
 C         D F
What can I do

Chorus
        C                    G#   F      C  F G#
I need something to take my mind off of you
        C                    G# F    C    F G#
I need something to shake my memory loose

        C                    A#         D#m
I need something to take my mind off of you

Break
             A#                         D#m
It makes no difference no matter what I do
            A#                           D#m
I'm like a blind man who got no point of view
             F
I'm goin' around and around I just don't have a clue
