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