"Joint Of No Return" - by John Gorka 2001 from the CD "The Company You Keep"

G  D  C  D  (repeat a few times)

G    D          C        D
I've passed the foregone conclusion

G         D         C            D       G        
My hand's sore from carrying the world around

  D           C              D
I cracked the art of self-delusion

G   D   C               D       G
I'm out hanging off the edge of town

     D     C            D
Half-vast, vagabond and vagrant

G    D    C             D       G
I'll stay is a phrase I haven't learned

  D     C             D 
I could sink into the pavement

G     D      C               D     Em     
But I slip into the joint of no return


CHORUS:
Em              D          C                    G
In the joint of no return, I hope that you will find me there

Em                 D              C                          D
And you avoid the random burn, no second guessing you can compare

        C              D                          G     D  C
Your regrets to wisdom earned in the joint of no return

D            G     D  C
Joint of no return


Hold on, there's hunger in the corner
Oh no, I am still a no-account
Tonight I will be your server
Look back and overpay the whole amount

Chorus

Em                D
My friends, we're all potential rumors

Em            D                       C
Know now that nothing in the future's firm

          G
I will be passing out the blinders

F         Am                   G    D  C  D
Out here in the joint of no return


Repeat 1st verse
