1.Verse:
G A
funny you swear you got nowhere special to go
Am D C
but I know you will, before too long
G
always there, standing there
A
staring at the hole in the robe
Am D C
like it was a place somebody would go
1.Chorus:
G D Am (Am/E)? G B Em
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
G A Am
with the hollywood design, knowing everyone
G B Em
would you cover mine?
2.Verse:
G A
you spoke softer than anybody i ever heard
Am D C
softer than the vel-vet in your hair
G A
tying back black laughin' back (?), black as a bird
Am D C
i live in a cage, and i could take you there

2.Chorus:
G D Am (Am/E)? G B Em
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
G A
streets, i'm living with the pain
Am G B Em
this is what you see always looking down
3.Verse:
G A
hanging out, let her (?) can't tell how to behave
Am D C
with her on the stage i hear your serm (?)
G A
animals painted in the dark on the walls of the cage
Am D C
pictures i wish you just forget
3.Chorus:
G D Am (Am/E)? G B Em
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
G A Am
I don't know if you care the meaning of the word
G B Em
maybe just yourself
4.Verse:
G A
little things trigger big problems you can wipe out a stain
Am D C
maybe i destroy what makes you sad
G A
if you're rid of so many minds buried that you never relay
Am D C
until your body's numb and it's all too bad
4.Chorus:
G D Am (Am/E)? G B Em
con-fusion is king, the talk of the town
G A
i don't know how to speak it
Am
i don't know how to help you
G B Em Em Em
i'll just be around
G A
i don't know how to speak
Am
i don't know how to help
G B Em
i'll just be around
i think it is not exactly right...but it sounds near to the "La Zona Rosa, Austin 5-6-00"-recording
