VERSE ( C=C5 )
D5
the cross in the middle of the room
but the ghost who sleeps in the kitchen sink
C5
and the one who shines my shoes all put the money in a bag
G5
and left the house before the blizzards came
D5
the summer's got his teeth in me again
but my bones are sweating and my clothes are gone
and i can't get enough to drink
C5 G5 D5
so now the place to be is where the moonlight never blinks
C5 G5 D5
and i'd love to explain but truth be told i'm not sure what to think
D5
so now i'm going to bed
D5
i woke up with my head stuffed full of fog
beyond it out into the livingroom
until i couldn't see the floors or walls
C5 G5 D5
and as the sun cut through i finally found a place to lay
D5
the skeleton in my closet left his home
now he sits up on the rooftop and shouts my secrets with a megaphone
C5 G5 D5
and as the shit hit the fan i packed my bags and caught the train
C5 G5 D5
and i'd like to point the finger but there's no one left to blame
C5 G5 D5
now there's nothing left to protect me from the rain
and it's really coming down..
BACK TO INTRO then...

D5 G5
it's the thought that burns you out
B5 A5

B5 A5

D5 G5
it's the sky that spoils the cloud
B5 A5

D5 G5

D5 C5 G5
boring and twisting.. a moth stuck in the ground
C5 G5
has made a house of your lightbulbs
D5 C5
mottled and crooked
G5 D5
a hiccup in the sound
C5 G5
is like a smudge on the tv
C5 G5
like a crick in your neck
C5 G5 D5
like mistakes that you never regret
B5 A5
it's the look upon your face
D5 G5
it's the rat that lost the race
B5 A5
it's the shivers in your spine
D5 G5
it's the heart you'll never find
B5 A5
it's the names in wet cement
D5 G5
it's the things you can't forget
B5 A5
it's the fear of growing old
D5 G5
it's the life you'll never know
B5 A5
it's the scratches in your teeth
D5 G5
it's the time you left for weeks
B5 A5 D5
it's the age when you didn't care, darling
D5 C5
cutthroat and ambling
G5 D5
the help that's never around
C5 G5
just like a wish on your birthday
D5 C5
tired and empty
G5 D5
attacks on what you found
C5 G5
is like a spot on invention
C5 G5
like a bug in your food
C5 G5 D5
like a thing that's too good to be true.. and so.
