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
