Intro 4x: G  D  C 

          G                             D           C
Well, you know i don't like you but you wanna be my friend
          ( C )           D                   C                G
There are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings
     ( G )                      D           C
It's ok, i'm angry but you'll never understand
         ( C )           D            C               G
When you dream of Michelangelo they hang above your hands

      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again

      G                 D             C
And i can't see why you wanna talk to me
          ( C )       D          C               G
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean
        ( G )                               D            C
I want a white bread life, just something ignorant and plain
             ( C )           D           C          G
But from the walls of Michelangelo i'm dangling again

      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D               G
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again

C                    D
Saturn on a line...a sun afire strings and wires to
C                              G
spin above my head and make it right
    C                         D
But any time you like you can catch a sight of angel eyes
    C             D
all emptiness and infinite

      G                              D           C
And i dream of Michelangelo when i'm lying in my bed
      ( C )          D              C          G
I see God upon the ceiling, i see angels overhead
       ( G )                  D               C
And it seems so close as he reaches out his hand
           ( C )            D               C           G
But we are never quite as close as we are led to understand

      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C                 D
And i know cause there she goes walking, walking, walking
      Am                      D
And i know that she is not my friend
      Am                        C             D               G
And i know cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again

      C              G
On my mind...oh Lord no...
          C             D                G
Yes she's walking on my skin again and again
