E5
Listen to the sounds of ringing out around you
B5
these are the cries of a dying breed
E5
Politics of hate you'd never get around to 
B5
blood over brains that we never need
E5
I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed 
B5
fixed in the post like a silent stone 
E5
Serenity and tact, it's the feeling that I lack 
B5
Life in the floors of a stable home 

        G5                          D5
I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell 
           G5                        D5
You're a breath to the runner in contest 
     G5                          F#5          B5
In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away
                G5           A5
and I have to give it up someday 

D5                      A5                  G5
Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
F#5              E5         D5 
Pretending in a love like this 
             A5                      E5
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
        G5          A5 
Don't cover my footsteps
B5                                       G5 
Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me 
B5                                          G5
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader 
D5                        A5                              E5
You're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me 
                           G5
You have to touch me with kid gloves 
                          B5
You have to touch me with kid gloves

B5
Body to the wind, you talk me out of standstill 
E5
I never felt so alive at once 
B5
Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still 
E5
pressed to the drain of the coming months 

         E5 
Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k
         C5
Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore 
         G5                       F5                   E5
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself 

Yes I?m a vanity whore 

              G5                            D5
Because it's race and it's power at the center of life, 
        G5                      D5
we?re blind to the people who need us, 
      G5                                     F#5           B5
but you're the kind of person who could understand that fault 
                 G5           A5
and I hope to measure you someday.

When you compromise yourself like that 
           A5
It's a dedication
               B5 
So even on friendship
