LAm7 LAm7/FA#
You turn on a spindle
SOL
You are so much looser now
DO
But you're not explaining how
FA# SI7 MI
You gained such new repose
LAm7 LAm7/FA#
I touch the clasp of your locket
SOL
With its picture held
DO
Some secret you wouldn't tell
FA# SI7 MI
But let it choke your neck
LAm7 LAm7/FA#
So we imagine a darkness
SOL
Where all shapes divide
DO
Solids changing into light
FA# SI7 MI
With a burst of heat so bright
MI
Well fine
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
Don't you do what I want you to
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit that I use
LAm DO RE7 RE7sus4 SOL
To make my moods immmmmmprove
LAm7 LAm7/FA#
And near a sea of pianos
SOL
There were waves of chords
DO
That crashed against the shore
FA# SI7 MI
In one huge and pointless roar
LAm7 LAm7/FA#
And there were girls bringing water
SOL
Like a dream they came
DO
To cool the fever of my brain
FA# SI7 MI
And soothe my burning throat
LAm7 LAm7/FA#
And they made me a necklace
SOL
Hanging beads of sweat
DO
On a string of my regrets
FA# SI7 MI
And placed it 'round my neck
MI
And they were singing
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
Don't you do what you've wanted to
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
LAm7 LAm7/FA# SOL DO
And maybe the sun keeps coming up 'cause it's gotten used to you
LAm DO RE7 RE7sus4 SOL
And your constant need forrrr proof

DO
Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily
MIm
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
LAm
Were picked in advance by some careful hand
FA SOL
With an absolute concept of beauty
DO
They are smeared and these blurs come in random order
MIm
To color the eyes of your former lovers
LAm FA
Hers were green like July except when she cried
FA SOL
They were red
DO
Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat
MIm
You contract it the day you accept all you see
LAm
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
FA SOL
A reflection of something we're missing
DO
And language just happened, it was never planned
MIm
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
LAm
In the room of my house where the light has never been
FA SOL
Waiting for this day to end
FA SOL
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
MIm LAm
Everything that we hate or adore
FA SOL
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
MIm LAm
So tell me then, what was it for?
FA SOL DO
Oh tell me, what was it for?

Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning
when you start to raise your head?
DO#
And does he sing to you incessantly
from the place between your bed and wall?
FA#m
Does he walk around all day at school
with his feet inside your shoes?
DO#
Looking down every few steps
to pretend he walks with you?
FA#m
Does he know that place below your neck
that is your favorite to be touched?
DO#
And does he cry through broken sentences
like "I love you far too much"?
SIm MI LA RE
Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
SIm MI LA RE
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes?
MI FA#m
Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
MI FA#m
For every speck of tile there are a thousand more
MI
That you won't ever see
LA MI RE MI FA#m DO# FA# DO#
But must hold inside yourself eternally
FA#m
I drug your ghost across the country
and we plotted out my death
DO#
In every city, memories would whisper
"Here is where you rest"
FA#m
I was determined in Chicago
But I dug my teeth into my knees
DO#
And I settled for a telephone
Sang into your machine
FA#m
"You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine.

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine"

I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
DO#
She had eyes bright enough to burn me
They reminded me of yours
FA#m
And in a story told she was a little girl
In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
DO#
And there were rows of ripe tomatoes
Where a secret was concealed
FA#m
And it rose like thunder
DO#
Clapped under our hands
FA#m
And it stretched for centuries
DO#
To a diary entry's end where I wrote
FA#m
"You make me happy (WHAT?)
DO#
When the skies are gray
FA#m
You make me happy (WHAT?)
DO#
When skies are gray and gray and gray"
SIm MI LA RE
Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest
SIm MI LA RE
With hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
MI FA#m
But I will not weep for those dying days
MI FA#m
For all the ones who've left there are a few that stayed
MI LA MI RE
And they found me here and pulled me from the grass

Where I was laid

FA DO SOL LAm
Now and again it seems worse than it is
FA DO SOL
But mostly the view is accurate.
FA DO SOL LAm
You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs
FA DO SOL
to that coffin you call your apartment.
LAm MI
And you sink in your chair
DO SOL
Brush the snow from your hair
DO SOL FA
And drink the cold away
LAm MI
You are not really sure
DO FA
What you're doing this for
DO SOL FA
But you need something to fill up the days
LAm MI
A few more hours
DO SOL LAm
DO SOL LAm
FA DO SOL LAm
There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away
FA DO SOL
It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
FA DO SOL LAm
And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
FA DO SOL
As a kid with my mom and my brothers
LAm MI
And then the bridge disappears
DO SOL
And I'm standing on air
DO SOL FA
With nothing holding me
LAm MI
And I hang like a star
DO SOL
Fucking glow in the dark
DO SOL FA
For all those starving eyes to see
LAm MI
Like the ones we've wished on
DO SOL
But now I'm confused
LAm FA
Is this death really you?
DO SOL LAm
And do these dreams have any meaning?
DO SOL
No, no, I think it is more like a ghost
LAm FA
That's been following us both
DO SOL LAm
Something vague that we're not seein
FA DO RE
Something more like a feeling

You follow the footsteps

Echoes leading down a hall
FA# LA
To a room, there's music playing
MI LA
Tiny bells with moving parts
FA# LA
Here the shadows make things ugly
MI LA
An effect quite undesirable
FA# LA
The bold and yellow daylight
MI LA
Grows like ivy across the wall
RE MI LA
And bounces off of the painted porcelain
RE MI LA
Tiny dancing doll
RE MI LA
Her body spins as she pirouettes again
RE MI FA# LA MI LA
The world suddenly seems small
FA# LA
On an off-white subtle morning
MI LA
You stretch your legs in the front seat
FA# LA
The road has made a vacuum
MI LA
Where our voices used to be
FA# LA
And you lay your head onto my shoulder
MI LA
Pour like water over me
RE MI LA
So if I just exist for the next ten minutes of this
RE MI LA
Drive that would be fine
RE MI LA
And all the trees that line this curb would be
RE MI FA# LA MI LA
Rejoicing and alive
RE MI LA
Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes

Fountains of your eyes

Because you finally understand the movement of a

Hand waving you goodbye

DO#m
The fragile keep secrets gathered in pockets
SOL#
And they will sell them for nothing, a cheap watch or locket
MI DO#m
That kind of gold washes off
DO#m
And the sad act like lepers, they stick to the shadows
SOL#
They long to ring bells of warning to tell of their coming
MI DO#m
So that the pure can shut their doors
DO#m
And the angry are animals, senseless and savage
SOL#
They act without order in logical lapses
MI DO#m
They stain their mouths with blood
FA#m DO#m
So take my hand, this barren land is alive tonight
FA#m DO#m
Oh, the corn has grown stalks that form a wall to hide
FA#m DO#m
The wind carries sounds that I can't see from beyond that line
SI LA SOL#
Then the stalks begin to sway
DO# SI LA SOL#
Oh, stay with me, Arienette

Until the wolves are away
LA SOL# DO#m LA SOL#

Well the wicked are vultures, they bake in the canyons
SOL#
They circle in sunlight and wait for their victims
MI DO#m
To collapse and call to them
DO#m
And the desperate are water, they'll run down forever
SOL#
As they soak into silence and end up together
MI DO#m
In a dark and distant, dark and distant place
FA#m DO#m
So don't leave me here with only mirrors watching me
FA#m DO#m
This house, it holds nothing but the memories
FA#m DO#m
And the moon, it leaves silver but never sleep
SI LA SOL#
And then the silver turns to gray

So stay with me, Arienette

Until the wolves are away

Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother

And making him take me back down to the water

That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father

I will not desert him, I will not desert him

No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean

Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
REm SOL DO LAm
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
DO SOL DO
The sky that has been avoiding me
DO SOL
I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
REm SOL
It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
DO SOL
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
LAm SOL
She will recite the prayer of my pen
DO SOL
Saying, time take us forward, relief from this longing
REm SOL
They can land that plane on my heart. I don't care
DO SOL
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
LAm SOL
In the freezing darkness of my room
REm SOL DO LAm
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
REm SOL DO LAm
All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain

Seen the curious girl with that look on her face

So surprised she stares out from her display case

Words were missed, then some apology
FA#m REmaj7
I didn't want to tell you this

No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with

I don't know, the past couple weeks, I guess

Thank you and hang up the phone

Let the funeral start, hear the casket close

Let's pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat

The laughter pours from under doors in this house

I don't understand that sound no more

Seems artificial like a TV set

Well Haligh Haligh Haligh Haligh

This weight, it must be satisfied

You offer only one reply

You know not what you do

But you tear and tear your hair from roots

From that same head you have twice removed

Now a lock of hair you said would prove

Our love would never die, well hahaha
SIm
FA#m REmaj7
I remember everything
LA SIm
The words we spoke on freezing South Street
FA#m REmaj7 LA SIm
And all those mornings watching you get ready for school
FA#m REmaj7
You combed your hair inside that mirror
LA SIm
The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears
FA#m REmaj7 LA SIm
Something about those bright colors would always make you feel better
FA#m REmaj7
But now we speak with ruined tongues
LA SIm
And the words we say aren't meant for anyone
FA#m REmaj7 LA SIm
It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance but there was once you
FA#m REmaj7
You said you hate my suffering
LA SIm
And you understood and you'd take care of me
FA#m REmaj7 LA SIm
You'd would always be there, well where are you now?
SIm
Haligh, Haligh, Haligh, Haligh
LA
The plans were never finalized
SOL
But left to hang like yarn and twine
LA
Dangling before my eyes
SIm
As you tear and tear your hair from roots
LA
From that same head that you have twice removed
SOL
Now a lock of hair you said would prove
LA
Our love would never die
SIm
And I sing and sing of awful things
LA
The pleasure that my sadness brings
SOL
And my fingers press onto the strings
LA
Yet another clumsy chord
SIm
Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
LA
This weight will now be satisfied
SOL
I'm gonna give you only one reply
LA
I know not who I am
SIm
But I talk in the mirror
LA
To the stranger that appears
SOL
Our conversations are circles
SOL
Always one sided
LA
Nothing is clear
SIm
Except we keep coming back
LA
To this meaning that I lack
SOL
He says the choices were given
SOL
Now you must live them
LA
Or just not live
SIm
But do you want that?

At the center of the world there's a statue of a girl
DO RE SOL
She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
SIm LAm
I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
DO RE SOL
This clumsy form that I despise, it scattered easy in her hand
SIm LAm
It came to rest upon a beach with a million others there
DO RE SOL
We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out so that we could disappear
SIm LAm
Into the endlessness of blue into the horror of the truth
DO RE MIm
See, we are far less than we knew, yeah, we are far less than we knew
MIm DO
But we knew what we could taste

Girls found honey to drench our hands
SI
The men cut marble to mark our graves
SI SOL
Said we'll need something to remind us of

All the sweetness that has passed through us
MIm
The priests dressed children for a choir
SI
But found no joy in what was sung
SI DO RE RE SOL
The funeral had begun
SOL SIm LAm
In the middle of the day when you drive home to your place
DO RE SOL
From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
SIm LAm
Long after night has come to claim any light that still remains
DO RE SOL
In the corner of the frame that you put around her face

Two pills just weren't enough

The sunrise and the sunset

Hold your sadness like a puppet

No need to focus when there's nothing that's worth seeing
RE FA#m SOL LA
So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales
RE FA#m SOL LA
I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details

They seemed so important at the time but now you can't even recall

Any of the names, faces, or lines, it's more the feeling of it all

There is a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
SOL#m FA#m
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
MI FA#m
While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
SOL#m FA#m
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
LA MI
But I love them... why do I love them?
MI FA#m
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
SOL#m FA#m
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
MI FA#m
And on their faces just anger or disappointment
SOL#m FA#m
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
LA MI
A consolation... what could I offer them?
MI FA#m
And they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
SOL#m FA#m
And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
MI FA#m
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
SOL#m FA#m
And the cars in the driveway only multiply
MI FA#m
They are lost in their houses, I've heard them sing in the shower
SOL#m FA#m
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
MI FA#m
Saying you come home, you come here, don't stay so far away from me
SOL#m FA#m
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
LA MI
Something I can hold... it's getting cold
FA#m MI SI LA
I say hold up our fists to a flame in the sky
FA#m MI SI LA
To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
MI LA MI
'Cause it... 'cause it would blind us, yeah it will blind us
MI FA#m
Well I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
SOL#m FA#m
So I may never be free of this apathy
MI FA#m
But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
SOL#m FA#m
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
MI
So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
FA#m
There is someone looking for what I've concealed
SOL#m
In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
FA#m
You will find the reasons that I can't sleep
LA MI
And you will still want me... but will you still want me?
LA MI
Will you still want me?
FA#m MI SI LA
Well, I say come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
FA#m MI SI LA
And pass through my life like a dream through my head
MI LA MI
It will... it will be easy, I'll make it easy
MI FA#m
But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
SOL#m FA#m
A melody to keep me from worrying
MI FA#m
Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
SOL#m FA#m
And words that are sure to come back to me
LA MI
And they'll be laughing... and they'll be laughing
LA MI
My mediocrity
LA MI
My mediocrity
