A     D           Bm          G               A         D       Bm    E
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
G                           A
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
G                      A
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
D       A          D      G         A      A    G    A

Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
G                         A
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
G                           A
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
D          A        D       G         A      A    G    A
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

I'm looking for an interruption,
do you believe?
You looking, did my dreams
Be prepared for anything
You come into my little scene
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
There's one thing I can guarantee:
You won't have to dig, dig too deep

G   Em
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep,
G  Em
I don't sleep, I dream
G  Em                               G  Em
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

[Riff]
Are you looking to drive my dreams?
You here to run my screens?
You come, deliver my demons
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
Are you coming to ease my headache?
Do you give good head?
Am I good in bed?

G Em
I don't know, I guess so
G Em

Hooray hooray hip hip hooray

[Pattern 1]
I don't know why you're mean to me
[Pattern 2]
When I call on the telephone
[Pattern 1]
and I don't know what you mean to me
but I want to turn you on,
[Pattern 2]
turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on

      C   G   F   C   F             G
These words,           "You will be mine"
      C   G   F   C          Dm            G      
These words,    "You will be mine, all the time"

[Fill]

[Pattern 1]
The Fool might be my middle name
[Pattern 2]
But I'd be foolish not to say
[Pattern 1]
Going to make whatever it takes,
ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love
[Pattern 2]
Couldn't I take you in and make you mine?

      C   G   F   C   F             G

What I want you to feel,         
		  G
I want to feel it now

[Pattern 1]
You know with love come strange currencies 
[Pattern 2]
And here is my appeal:
[Pattern 1]
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
[Pattern 2]
just to fool myself, catch myself, to make it real, real


      C   G   F   C   F             G
These words,           "You will be mine"

Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal.
I hold my breath to what you sing,
My pyro b-ba-ba ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up


A		      G
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
A                         G
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios,
he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

YOU

>From Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us):

'You' off Monster is Dm, Gm for the verse and it holds Am
for awhile and goes to C for the chorus (I think)...with a Dm
riff during the verses (the notes are pretty much in the chord,
hammer-on on the 2nd fret of G string and open D string).



Let the sun beat through the clouds,
Let me kiss you on the mouth.
All my childhood toys with chew marks in from a smile.
Let me hold your syrup close to mine.
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine.
And I want you like the movies, touch me now.
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.

Did I dream you were a tourist
in the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with luna moths
and watermelon gum.
I woke up in the sleeping bag,
With nowhere else to run.
You're standing in the bathroom
telling me its all in fun.
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.

I can whisper in your ear.
I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shut out the moon
I walked the tension wire line.
And I learned to disrespect the signs.
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.
