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
