Inch An Hour - The Tragically Hip
>From DAY FOR NIGHT (1994 MCA Records)

VERSE:

B              A E          B/A  B
I want a book that'll make me drunk
B              A E               B/A  B
full of freaks and disenfranchised punks
B                A E           B/A  B
No amount of hate, no load of junk,
B              A E           B/A  B
no bag of words, no costume trunk,

CHORUS:

B/A   B   B/A   B     B  A  E
could make me feel the same way,
B/A   B   B/A   B     B  A E
an inch an hour two feet a day
B/A   B   B/A   B     B  A E
to move through night
A  E         A E       A E B
in this most fashionable way.

There's this fuckin' band ya gotta see,
they used to scare the livin' shit outta me
No frothing dog no cool insanity
no "rock n' roll" no christianity

makes me feel the same way
an inch an hour two feet a day
to move through night
with very little else to say
but I'm helpless less with the people
than the space

A                           E
No struggletown, no bemused trudeau
                          B
no solitary walks through vacant lots
     A E
in moonglow

Tonight the winter may have missed it's mark
you can see your breath in Springside Park
coffee-coloured ice and peeling birch bark the
sound of rushing water in the dark

makes me feel the same way
an inch an hour two feet a day
to movethrough life with very little else to say
but I'm helpless more with the people
than the space

I mean I'm helpless less with the people
than the space

You see I don't know Neil
I don't know Neil
