VERSE (C=Cadd9)
D
the cross in the middle of the room
but the ghost who sleeps in the kitchen sink
C
and the one who shines my shoes all put the money in a bag
G
and left the house before the blizzards came
D
the summer's got his teeth in me again
but my bones are sweating and my clothes are gone
and i can't get enough to drink
CGD
so now the place to be is where the moonlight never blinks
CGD
and i'd love to explain but truth be told i'm not sure what to think
D
so now i'm going to bed
D
i woke up with my head stuffed full of fog
beyond it out into the livingroom
until i couldn't see the floors or walls
CGD
and as the sun cut through i finally found a place to lay
D
the skeleton in my closet left his home
now he sits up on the rooftop and shouts my secrets with a megaphone
CGD
and as the shit hit the fan i packed my bags and caught the train
CGD
and i'd like to point the finger but there's no one left to blame
CGD
now there's nothing left to protect me from the rain
and it's really coming down..
BACK TO INTRO then...

|played throughout following:
DG
it's the thought that burns you out
BmA
it's the hook that drags you under
DG
and it's the grin that rats you out
BmA
it's a snowstorm in the summer
DG
it's the sky that spoils the cloud
BmA
it's the burn marks on your mother
DG
and it's the thought that burns you out
BmA
it's the hook that drags you under and so on..
then...

DCadd9G
boring and twisting.. a moth stuck in the ground
Cadd9G
has made a house of your lightbulbs
DCadd9
mottled and crooked
GD
a hiccup in the sound
Cadd9G
is like a smudge on the tv
Cadd9G
like a crick in your neck
Cadd9GD
like mistakes that you never regret
BmA
it's the look upon your face
DG
it's the rat that lost the race
BmA
it's the shivers in your spine
DG
it's the heart you'll never find
BmA
it's the names in wet cement
DG
it's the things you can't forget
BmA
it's the fear of growing old
DG
it's the life you'll never know
BmA
it's the scratches in your teeth
DG
it's the time you left for weeks
BmAD
it's the age when you didn't care, darling
DCadd9
cutthroat and ambling
GD
the help that's never around
Cadd9G
just like a wish on your birthday
DCadd9
tired and empty
GD
attacks on what you found
Cadd9G
is like a spot on invention
Cadd9G
like a bug in your food
Cadd9GD
like a thing that's too good to be true.. and so.
