C     
 Every single night
 F6
 I endure the flight
 C                        G7
 Of little wings of white-flamed
                   C
 Butterflies in my brain

 These ideas of mine
 F6
 Percolate the mind
 Eb7
 Trickle down the spine
 D7    
 Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze
 C#7             Eb
 That's when the pain comes in
 G7            Ab
 Like a second skeleton
 C              G7
 Trying to fit beneath the skin
 C               G
 I can't fit the feelins in
 Am                   Am7M          D9\A
 Every single night's alright with my brain

 C
 What'd I say to her
 F6
 What'd I say it to her
 C
 What does she think of me
 G7
 That i'm not what I ought to be
 C
 That i'm what I try not to be
 F6                      Eb7
 It's got to be somebody elese's fault
 D7
 I can't get caught
 C#7                                Eb
 If what I am is what I am , cause I does what I does
      G7                          Ab
 Then brother, get back, cause my breast's gonna bust open
     C                        G7
 The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk and
   C                       G
 I just made a meal for us both to choke on
 Am                     Am7M        D9/A
 Every single night's a fight with my brain

F6 G6             Bb7M A  
 I....just want to feel everything X4
 
 C                      F6
 So i'm gonna try to be still now
 C                  G7
 Gonna renounce the mill a little while and
 C                  F6
 If we had a double-king-sized bed
          Eb7                D7
 We could move in it and i'd soon forget
      C#7                            Eb
 That what I am is what I am cause I does what I does
     G7                       Ab
 And maybe i'd relax, let my breast shot bust open
    C                        G7
 My heart's made of parts of all that surround me
    C                          G
 And that's why the devil just can't get around me
 Am                   Am7M   Am                    Am7M
 Every single night's alright, every single night's a fight
 Am                Am7M                 D9/A
 And every single fight's alright with my brain
 
 F6  G6              Bb7M A 
  I..... just want to feel everything
