   D                 G        A                 D
My friend you were a model, a priceless work of art.
           D             G               A
Boys would fashion their emotions to the pattern of you heart.
      D                    G            A                  D
And I heard you wrote that record for a girl you loved but died.
         D                G           A
I'm here sewing mine, together, just hoping you're alive.
      G                   A                  D                  A
And I know you'll never come back now to the world where people are.
           D     A     G
'Cause you never understood what they loved you for.

D A G...(you can do the harmonica part with your pinky).

     D                      G                    A             D
Now ghosts they have their secrets, and they'll tell them to a few.
           D            G                    A
So you can never pay attention, when they're whispering to you.
           D             G                   A                D
There were many talents you possessed that I wished myself to have.
        D                   G                  A
But the way your eyes would gloss over, well I never envied that.
      G                  A                    D                A
And I doubt you'll ever come back now from wherever it is you are.
            D     A    G
'Cause you never understood what we loved you for.

D A G...

             D              G                    A             D
I'm sure the T.V. sets will tell us when someone reinvents the wheel.
                      D              G             A
Till then I'll have a million conversations about shit that isn't real.
         D                 G                        A             D
But I'll try to breathe in meaning dig deep through every gasp of air.
        D                G                 A
Cause I know you did the same thing for as long as you can bear.
        G               A                 D               A
I guess everything just circles 'round to where it was before.
     D         A       G
So I hope I'll see you soon in some other form.


D A G...
