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