Apples, I'm home   (melody line B:-1-1-4-7)------------------|
)Gonna grab a f*ck (B:-1-1-4-4-7)-|
(Maybe play some hockey)
   G          A7
My mouth is a liar (beware)
   G           A7
My feet are on fire (who cares)
     G          A7
I've never been shy-er (i'm not scared)
   D                  G
If everyone's bumping around
A7
Because
G                     A7
Knowers know to know and
G              A7
Goers go to go and
G                     A7
Show-ers show to show and
D
No one's gonna ask your name
         G          A7
When you fade into forever
 G                     A7
(i can't figure out the lyrics to this line. can anyone help?)
G                        A7
How can anyone say right or wrong (i love you)
D                        G
And then tell you you're ok

Oh I loved the ground once
And i kept my fingers warm
Everything was true
Everything was true

When your
G                A7
Penis fell apart and
G                  A7
No one had a heart and
G                  A7
No one had a chart to
D                  G
Show you the right way
A7
You
G                 A7
Had to be a creature
G                     A7
Without specific features
G                 A7
There were no teachers
D                    G
To tell you what to say (rip out your guts)

C
Bartholemew bring me a fork
          G7
There's a minstrel parade on tv
        C
Let the lights glow, an excellent reason
   G7            C
To stay home tonight

C
Oh the old men wave their canes
          Em
They have yesterday's brains
          f                            G
And their worlds stop turning on sundays
C
The young lives are clipped
    Em
And smudged on the rocks
f                 G
Distorted and forgotten

C
Quietly she enters the room
       G7
But we can't talk, we can not be seen
C
Returning her new pair of jeans
G7                C
Just to stay home tonight

C
Oh the mirror always shows
          Em
There's a stranger in my clothes
f                        G
Standing on the third rail
C
Lost at sea
Em
searching for me
       f                 G
And we don't know how to sail

C
So if you go to guitar store
         G7
You will see me again

Holding the door
C
It's an excellent night to sleep on the floor
       G7        C
If you stay home tonight

C
Oh i saw you before
       Em
In the guitar store
f                      G
I was lonely, lazy and useless
C
And Bartholemew moans
       Em
To the counterfeit clones
        f                     G
When he feels like he's not a human

Verse:
C
In a land made of string

where the hills are balls of twine
and the doctor knits the sun
          C
down in a baseball diamond mine

C
and the mozzarella sweaters
     G7
get sewn to the tits
where the lump behind the sheet
             C
is where the tumor took a shit

and i'll be getting head

well we came upon a cracker

and we all came on this cracker

and the last one had to eat it
        C
and she did

C
but she threw it up like a whore

and the sunshine stabbed right through her

like a whore on a skewer

in the wind

C
now the king was reading comics
        G7
when he stepped into some vomit

and he screamed like forty wolves
              C
being burned alive

C
and i rode my dolpin adam

Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store

We all lived there together with the army at the door
Bm                                 G
No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure

But there really is no me and there's no army at the door

I hustle my way to your bedside

I ride on your body like a cab ride

Someone do my laundry or smash through the floor
Bm                            G
To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store

Bm                       G
And I was your favorite bullfighter
Bm                           G
Whose looks were new to your eyes
Bm                        G
And i fell apart in that bullfight
Bm                                 G
Where the dress was the sky to your thighs

Bm                       G
She said that she had an hour
Bm                       G
Her father he was in the shower
Bm                            G
And she took me to her little tower
Bm                           G
And she showed me her little flower

Bm                                         G
And just when i thought it was safe to put down my pen
Bm                                     G
She said maybe i will let you fall in love with me again
Bm                            G
Maybe i will let you fall for loving me again
Bm                                G
Then she showed me her badge and i think she said then

Bm                                          G
That i don't have the heart to tell you not to come
Bm                             G
And everyone has hands just to use someone
Bm                             G
And it makes me feel just like old gum
Bm                          G
To ride a fake horse into town
Bm                          G
To ride a lame horse into town
Bm                          G
To ride a dead horse into town

I emailed Adam about this song and he replied with the real chords and that his guitar 
probably out of tune for the recording.  I'll tab up the chords he told me he played.  To 
along with the cd, tune your guitar about 1/4 of a step up and substitute the chords this way:

     CD          Tab
F# (244322) |  a  (577655)
E  (022100) |  G  (355433)
a  (577655) |  C  (x35553)

         a         G
Well, times are bad
      C                           a
And all the time you're feeling sad
        a          G
And people are laughing
C                     a
Telling you to go away
         a           G
And your feet are trudgin'
       C                            a
You're always acting like a curmudgeon
       a      G
Well i know i know
          C    Bb   a
That it's hard hard hard

          a                G
Well it's hard to walk around
C                      a
Feeling like a circus clown
       a      G
Grab a big baton
    C                     a
And twirl it like a magic wand
            G          a
'Cause your cards are dealt
    C                    a
And everything is deeply felt
       a      G
Well i know i know
          C    Bb   a
That it's hard hard hard

          a                G
And the people that you love
         C                a
Are attacking you from above
          a            G
And everyone that you trust
         C                       a
Is just selling you a bucket of lies
     a         G
Well just believe
          C            a
That it's all gonna be ok
       a      G
Well i know i know
          C    Bb   a
That it's hard hard hard

f          Am         Bb              Gm
In a town, in a city, in an eyeball, on a rock
Bb         Cm           Dm            Eb
In a fence where a goat was alone by himself

Bb          f      Gm      Eb
There was a boy Who was there
Bb                Dm      f      Bb
A boy who built a snowman out of himself

f                        Am         Bb         Gm
I've been popping out of closets in robin hood suits
Bb                   Cm            Dm    Eb
I've been spotted in pictures with Navy recruits
Bb           f           Gm             Eb
Look at your costume you know that it's true
Bb   Dm       f         Bb
Any one could pop in as you


f                 Am                 Bb          Gm
Try to untie your lips but they were double knotted
Bb                        Cm                Dm             Eb
I tried to break into you brain but all the entrances were rotted
Bb              f               Gm                 Eb
If the moon had minute hands it would have meant a lot
Bb                 Dm       f         Bb (strum)
But God would have made the moon as a clock.

(strum chords)

Bb
Look, look, look at me doing this
F7
Look, look, look at me doing that
Gm                                 F7
Look, look, look at the way that i am

Bb
bye bye bye to the crazy ones
F7
bye bye bye to the crazy ones
Gm                       F7
bye bye bye to the crazy ones

Bb
Look, look, look at me doing this
F7
Look, look, look at me doing that         (2x)
Gm                                 F7
Look, look, look at the way that i am


(under heavy feedback and distortion)
Look, look, look at me doing this
Look, look, look at me doing that
Look, look, look at the way that i am

(one strum per chord for the rest of the song)
Bb
But if everybody was the best
F7
There would be so few of the rest
Gm
Oh the places where you've never been
F7
Oh the world was just a baby then

Bb
A million ways you learn to cry
F7
When the boy's little waves pass you by
Gm
Oh never to be there again
F7
Oh the children where so old-fashioned then

Bb
Coffins decked out on the street
F7
Who's the stranger with the purple feet?
Gm
Don't i remember him from somewhere
F7

before his feet lost his hair?

Bb
But if everyone is coffin-bound
F7
Then i'm so scared of being not around
Gm
I'm so scared to never make a sound
F7
I'm so scared of being underground

                Bb f Bb
Can you see me

Intro:

Bb  f (8x)

Verse:
       Bb             f         Bb         f
When I wake up in the morning I smell your smell
Bb        f         Bb       f
God knows that i'm not doing well
          Bb       f       Bb       f

A sparkling diamond in your eye

Chorus:

Cm              Bb
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart

Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Cm                        Bb
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
Cm                       f
I hope you come knocking at my door

(same chord pattern for the rest of the song)

Baby baby let's live in a shoe
And I'll tell you some things that I used to do
You're a broken book, a thievin' crook
You stole my heart with just one look

Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart
Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
I hope you come knocking at my door

You take my stuff and you make me blue
You've got me so goddamned subdued
And every day i hope and pray
You'll stay with me while the skies are grey

Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart
Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
I hope you come knocking at my door
