PORTRAIT OF YOUNG MAN

verse: [A B] x2 A B D A
pre-chorus: A Dm
chorus: [A C#] x3 C B

i am muddy waters / i'm broken down i'm told
i am muddy waters & i am slow
i am muddy waters / don't wait till i'm alone
i get fed up don't disappoint me
just watch the show

CH.
let's take a minute
just to calm down
we'll walk the streets
of my innocent hometown
don't question why do you have
questions anyhow?

i am muddy waters / that started out so pure
i am wasting away & there's no cure
avoid me i am an optimist / that started out so pure

[pre-chorus]
(are you positive? i'm sure) x3

CH.
let's take a moment
just to calm down
i'm sick and tired
of my innocent hometown
don't worry why do you have
worries anyhow?

[solo over A B D A)

i am muddy waters / i'm breaking down right now

[pre-chorus]
(are you positive? i'm sure) x3
(i'm sure) x6
