Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Listen to the sounds of ringing out around you Bm these are the cries of a dying breed Em Politics of hate you'd never get around to Bm blood over brains that we never need Em I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed Bm fixed in the post like a silent stone Em Serenity and tact, it's the feeling that I lack Bm Life in the floors of a stable home G D I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell G D You're a breath to the runner in contest G F# Bm In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away G A and I have to give it up someday D A G Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me F#m Em D Pretending in a love like this A Em I have no choice but to put you in back of me G A Don't cover my footsteps Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader D A Em You're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me G You have to touch me with kid gloves Bm You have to touch me with kid gloves Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm Bm Body to the wind, you talk me out of standstill Em I never felt so alive at once Bm Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still Em pressed to the drain of the coming months Em Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k C Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore G F Em Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself Yes I?m a vanity whore G D Because it's race and it's power at the center of life, G D we?re blind to the people who need us, G F# Bm but you're the kind of person who could understand that fault G A and I hope to measure you someday. D A G Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me F#m Em D Pretending in a love like this A Em I have no choice but to put you in back of me G A Don't cover my footsteps Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader D A Em You're dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me G You have to touch me with kid gloves Bm You have to touch me with kid gloves Em C G F Em Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k C Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore G F Em Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself Yes I?m a vanity whore Em Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a miserable f**k C Cheer me up, cheer me, up I'm a tireless bore Bm When you compromise yourself like that A It's a dedication Bm So even on friendship Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me Bm G Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader D A Em Dead weight-all right, that's fine-but get your hands off me G You have to touch me with kid gloves Bm You have to touch me with kid gloves
