Verse


E5
When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown
E5
Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
A5
My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
E5
Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down
E5
I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief
A5
I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house
E5
I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands
A5
That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain


A5
this wilderness up in my head,
A5
this rhythm that's up in my head,
A5                                           N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.

E5


E5
Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?
E5
My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
A5
But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out
E5
There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?
E5
It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
A5
I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god
E5
And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
E5
And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside

A5
this wilderness up in my head,

this rhythm that's up in my head,
                                           N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
