C F C F
I have a friend, he's mostly made of pain
C F C F
He wakes up, drives to work and straight back home again
C F C F
He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
C F C F
I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover
G C F
And I tried to tell him that he had a sense
G C F
Of color and composition so magnificent
F G F G
And he said thank you, please, but your flattery
F G F G
It is truly not becoming me
F G F G
Your eyes are poor, you're blind, you see
F G F G
No beauty ever could have come from me
C F
I'm a waste
C F
Of breath,
C F
of space,
C F
of time
C F
C F C F
I knew a woman, she was dignified and true
C F C F
Her love for her man was one of her many virtues
C F C F
Until one day she found out that he had lied
C F C F
And decided the rest of her life from that point on would be a lie
G C F
She was grateful for everything that had happened
G C F
And she was anxious for all that would come next
F G F G
But then she wept, what did you expect?
F G F G
In that big old house with the car she kept
F G F G
And, "Such is life," she often said
F G F G
With one day leading to the next
F G F G
You get a little closer to your death
F G F G
Which was fine with her, she never got upset
F G F G
And with all the days she may have left
F G F G
She would never clean another mess
F G F G
Or fold his shirts or look her best
C F
She was free
C F
To waste
C F
away
C F
alone
C F
C F
C F C F
Last night my brother he got drunk and drove
C F C F
And this cop pulled him off to the side of the road
C F C F
And he said, "Officer, officer, you've got the wrong man
C F C F
No, no, I'm a student of medicine, a son of a banker, you don't understand"
G C F
The cop said, "No one got hurt, you should be thankful
G C F
Your carelessness, it is truly something awful
F G F G
And no, I can't just let you go
F G F G
even though your father's name is known
F G F G
Your decisions now are yours alone
F G F G
You're nothing but a stepping stone
C F
On a path
C F
To debt,
C F
to loss
C F
to shame
C F
C F C F
The last few months I've been living with this couple
C F C F
Yeah, you know the kind who buy everything in doubles
C F C F
Yeah, they fit together like a puzzle
C F C F
I love their love, and I am thankful
G C F
That someone actually received the prize that was promised
G C F
By all those fairy tales that drugged us
F G F G
And still do me, I'm sick, lonely
F G F G
No laurel tree, just green envy
F F G
Will my number come up eventually?
F G F G
Like love's some kind of lottery
F G F G
Where you scratch and see what's underneath
C F
It's sorry,
C F
just one cherry
C F
I'll play again
C F
get lucky
C F
C F C F
So now I hang out down by the train's depot
C F C F
No, I don't ride, I just sit and watch the people there
C F C F
They remind me of windup cars in motion
C F C F
The way they spin and turn and jockey (or jerk each other off) for positions
G C F
And I want to scream out that it all is nonsense
G C F
And their life's one track and can't they see it's pointless?
F G F G
But just then my knees give under me
F G F G
My head feels weak and suddenly
F G F G
It's clear to see it's not them but me
F G
Who's lost my self-identity
F G
And I hide behind these books I read
F G
While scribbling my poetry
F G
Like art could save a wretch like me
F G
With some ideal ideology
F G
That no one could hope to achieve
F G F G
And I'm never real, it's just a sketch of me
F G F G F
And everything I've made is trite and cheap
C F
And a waste
C F
Of paint
C F
of tape
C F
of time
C F
C F
C F C F
So I park my car down by the cathedral
C F C F
Where the floodlights point up at the steeples
C F C F
Choir practice is filling up with people
C F C F
I hear the sound escaping as an echo
C F C F
Sloping off the ceiling at an angle
C F C F
When the voices blend they sound like angels
C F C F
I hope there's some room still in the middle
G C F
But when I lift my voice up now to reach them
G C F
The range is too high way up in heaven
F G F G
So I hold my tongue, forget the song
F G F G
Tie my shoes, start walking off
F G F G
And try to just keep moving on
F G F G
With my broken heart and my absent God
F G F G
And I have no faith and it's all I want
C F
to be loved,
C F
and to love
C F
and believe
C F
In my soul
C F C F C F C F
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
C F C F C F C F
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
